anxiety

Back when I was working on Small Steps, I conducted an expert interview with my mom to learn about anxiety treatments in the mental health profession (relating to eco-anxiety). My mom said a few things that really resonated with me...anxiety is necessary. Too much can become debilitating, but without any a person cannot anticipate consequences to their actions and end up somewhat sociopathic. But what really stuck with me was the notion of anxiety as a motivator.

Perhaps I can play off of this concept and use anxiety as a motivator for creativity, or aim to reduce the anxiety associated with creativity...plus my undergrad thesis related to anxiety/obsession so maybe I could connect the concepts I explored then with my master's thesis. ha.
