Today, I figured out what triggers my anxiety. It took me years. Can anyone relate?

Hello everyone,
I figured out what triggers my anxiety today. IT is having a schedule and doing things in an organized manner. On the other hand, being spontaneous distracts me and relieves my anxiety. That's why I am mostly a failure in life. However, I am so glad I have figured this out!
Now that I have figured this out, I need to find a way to deal with it. Can anyone relate? Does anyone have ideas?
Your feedback will be greatly appreciated!
Yours truly

If we make plans, we have time to think and worry about those plans in advance of doing them. If we never make plans and just do things in a spontaneous way, we have no time to think and worry about things. The thing is can you be spontaneous with your day to day life? Not sure if you work and have to plan ahead. If that is the case, very little you can do as you have to be ready in advance of time with work things. I tend to plan nothing at all. Something happens, I simply go with the flow. No thinking ahead of myself about things. Because I never know what it is I will be doing next.

How can you accomplish things if you don't plan ahead and do things on a regular basis?

Not much of a goal setter. But I still get things done. Might know something has to be done. Not saying I think it will be me who is going to do it. Then I just do it. Not one for thinking too far ahead of myself.

You can accomplish a lot of things without planing. Just watch any successful person talking about how they accomplished what they accomplished. They just did what they found fulfilling and what they loved, and overtime they've accomplished something..
We are overfed on social media with goal setting, and hustling and planning, and bujo planning, and de cluttering and meal planing, and constant self improvement..And then you find yourself " failing " on a daily basis. And of course it's triggering your anxiety . You have to plan some things ahead sure, but not everything . Do you have to be on some super tight schedule? Do you have someone to help you out, so you can take time to relax a bit during the day?
