Maybe you even ended up having a great time. In this episode, we\u2019re talking about anticipatory anxiety:&amp;nbsp; the worry, resistance, and sometimes full-blown dread that can show up before we do something. Inspired by my boys\u2019 recent experience going on trek (which they definitely did NOT want to do!), we\u2019ll look at why our brains can make the \u201cbefore\u201d feel so much harder than the actual experience. We\u2019ll talk about what\u2019s happening in the brain and nervous system when we anticipate something uncomfortable or unknown, why avoidance feels so tempting, and how continually avoiding discomfort can actually make anxiety stronger. Most importantly, I\u2019ll share some simple tools to help you and the people you love move through that resistance and get to the other side. Because sometimes you don\u2019t need to know that you\u2019ll love it. You don\u2019t need to feel excited or even ready. Sometimes you just need to get there.
