Table 4 Exemplar quotations of the word pair 'anxious/calm.'

Anxious

Cog09

At the time, several years ago, it was hard to not be anxious; it was hard not to worry and not to fret. I definitely had good days, but more often than not, I would be anxious, worrying, "Oh my gosh, I need to take care of that, what about this? What about that?"

Cog15

Anxious? Oh boy. Never relaxing, never enjoying calm or quiet, because there was always a pounding in my head. There was no such thing as inner peace, nothing.

Calm

Cog22

I found myself feeling a lot calmer afterwards, and just a lot less like possessive of the way I wanted things to turn out, and it's not turning out that way, and I could just deal with it as it was.

Cog25

Peaceful and steady and it has to do with walking a lot, like a rhythm that's steady and centered.

Cog28

A sense of inner peace and an absence of fear.
