Anxiety Support Group
Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread.

This morning I'm sitting here, kickin back alone.
My wife is working nights this weekend and therefore sleeping, we'll have a small ham dinner later but really had our Easter last weekend at my daughters house.
None of the other kids can make it home, Easter has never been a big family Holliday for us like it is for some anyway.
The point is I had a list of things to do today, most of which I didn't think I wanted to do.
I could postpone and procrastinate and worry and do them half-... after puttering away the AM.
But today I just got started, a simple load of laundry, then dishes then I burned papers and cardboard in our fireplace ( which wasn't even on the list) then "studied " for a presentation I have to give that is still almost two weeks away.
Instead of feeling loggy and "oh man I've got all this left to do" I feel great and some sense of accomplishment and I really didn't even do that much. But I did what I did not want to do when I did not want to do it.
Thoughts?

You said a mouthful with "But I always feel better for having done it" I mean 99% of the time we feel better if we take positive action, act instead of re-hash . So why is it such a tough habit to develop?
