Anxiety - different schedule

Hi, I'm Rich aka Older Guy,

I am really gobsmacked (British word) by the amount of anxiety i'm having from changing my routine today. I would normally go out and do my errands in the morning. Today I will do them in the afternoon. I would usually use an affirmation of "I've done this before and I know I can do it again". In this case, it hardly applies, as it's been many months or even years since I've changed up my routine". Perhaps I will use "when i've done this, i will be glad". Feedback encouraged.

OG,

A change in routine IS challenging for those of us with anxiety! I completely understand how you are feeling today.

I applaud you for your willingness to switch things up and do believe that this will be a positive step with much growth opportunity for you.

I love your positive mantra, and think it will serve you very well. Like you said, after today you *will* be able to say you have done it before and therefore can do it again!

Congrats in advance!

S.C.
