I agree with this. I always try to "think" my way out of things...but, in truth, after a certain point to "act" moves things along. Your point that a lot of thinking can contribute to anxiety is well taken. I find when I am forced to move my body and do physical things my constant anxiety is somewhat reduced.
Also, being active during the day burns up energy.
One thing I have become aware of is that anxiety plus caffeine is my surefire way to bring on insomnia.
