Has anyone ever tried using curiosity as an antidote for anxiety? Like when you know you're going to be stressed writing out some things that are exciting that you want to know about the event....like I have a concert to go to on Sunday but I always get nervous headed downtown....but maybe if I wrote out things I wanted to see or do on the way it would be better? I don't know, I haven't tried it yet but there's a researcher who studies the intersection of curiosity and anxiety ...I think I'll look for migrating birds or something....we sometimes get mergansers but at the minimum I should see some Canada geese...I'll let you know if it works
