I did essentially the same university degree as Zuby and at the same place. We have a lot in common, and I like his commentary a lot. Hope we get to meet some day. I found this tweet on anxiety a bit odd: https://twitter.com/ZubyMusic/status/1682470211075682304?s=20
I definitely struggle with it, in a way I did not before the war. I have been exposed to too much trauma and am a sensitive soul. It's not a question of willpower or focus as such; I just get a freeze-up when I confront tasks and content that my soul doesn't want to be provoked by any more.
We are not all built the same. I have struggled to have a stable home of my own, stable relationships, stable mental health, stable income, stable lifestyle, stable career. It's been a wild ride, and I'm OK, but get jittery from all the change I have had to go through.
Hv known ppl whose mantra on worry/anxiety is "don't worry; if you can do something about a situation, do it, but if you can't change it worrying about it is a waste of time". Maybe Zuby manages his concerns in this way.
There is a certain logic in this way of thinking but some thoughts can become all-consuming.
I do wonder how much our high-tech-world has contributed to the general malaise in humanity. Most of all i think it has on the basis that it's (tech) enabled total control over us which our instincts "feel" n rise up against it.
My thoughts on this subject hv landed on my intense antipathy towards "manipulation"; my cells rebel against it to quite an extreme extent! LOL
