So there's a fun thing called "misattribution of arousal" which is basically that the physical symptoms of an emotion can be hard to distinguish from the emotion itself. Classic example of this is that fear makes other people seem more attractive because of overlapping response.

There’s a hack based on this principle that works like 75% pf the time for me. Supposedly anxiety/nervousness manifests itself physically quite similarly to the way excitement does. So if you feel nervous, trying to reframe it as excitement can be very effective

I haven’t read up on it very much cause it works fairly well when I use it, which makes me afraid it’s only working due to placebo effect so I’m hesitant to mess with whatever equilibrium it may be in

Oh! I'm glad you figured it out though, hopefully that is useful data. Although that also suggests, understanding it is *better* but just accepting some days will be weird probably also works most of the time :)
