The thing about travel anxiety

I often want to run away from travel preparations. Even if it sometimes means minimal preparations for leaving for my hometown.

I was about to diagnose myself with anxiety yesterday, as I came back from hometown a day before and now in just 30 hours was going for a very short meditation retreat.

But then words of Marcus Aurelius came into my mind, where he says:

ā€œToday I escaped anxiety. Or no, I discarded it, because it was within me, in my own perceptions — not outside.ā€
