Doctor appointment at 3 p.m.?
Better flush the day.
For most people, its possible to do multiple things in a 24-hour period.
Say you have a meeting at 1 p.m.
Instead, youll sit, watch the clock and, well, waitin anticipation.
If you relate to this feeling with your entire being, youre not alone.
According to therapistAmy Braun, LCPC, PLLC, waiting mode often stems from anxiety.
Eliminating other factors can help alleviate some of your stress.
In some cases, stopping everything to wait really does make sense.
But other times, its a little less rational.
Someone who struggles with executive dysfunction may feel stuck when they attempt to prioritize their to-do list.
This is especially true if the upcoming event is stressful or anxiety-inducing, Shapiro says.
To get ready, youll want to lay as low as possible.
Rather than thinking about the future, focus on your five senses, he tells Bustle.
What does the room smell like?
What does your desk feel like?
Take a deep breath and connect with the world in front of you.
This will help you feel less anxious, stuck, or stagnant.
You might even be able to answer an email or two while you wait.
