... Just a couple of days ago, I was incredibly anxious. My heart pounded all day, anxiety stirred inside...
Whenever I've felt more than one way, especially about the same person or situation, what's worked best for me has been to include it all: to acknowledge that I did feel all of those ways whether they seemed to "go together" well or not. If I liked someone, for instance, that didn't mean I couldn't also dislike them. More important, even if I felt as if I had to be headed for disaster, that didn't mean I couldn't still have a good time dancing on the brink.

Your mileage may vary.
