Anxiety passes when we break out of ruts

"Life keeps presenting us with a choice between anxiety and depression. Choose anxiety; it passes. Depression hangs on.
"The anxiety is apprehension over breaking with routine ways of behaving and relating. When we break out of ruts, that anxiety passes. When we give in to routine out of fear, we feel helpless and that leads to feeling depressed."

~ Dr. Michael D'Antonio
