Next, give the anxiety a shape, a colour and a name.
The last step is to release the anxiety.

So, my anxiety is now a triangle, it is orange and it’s called Bob.
“Hey, Bob…
I see you, I’m aware of you.
I know it’s normal that we are meeting one another again…”

Because there are other ACTIONS that I need to focus on.”
