Feelings are a reaction to a belief; they are secondary to beliefs. Feelings are not the primary experience of reality; beliefs are the primary interface. First you believe something is true; then you get the feeling; then you have the reinforcing thoughts – which may re-reinforce the belief; and then you regenerate more of the same feelings. Anxiety is the same energy as excitement, with judgment placed upon it. Relax the judgment, and you will let go of the anxiety. It will turn into excitement and laughter.
