A couple ideas:
1) Scratch the itch. Allow yourself time block on the weekends (maybe 30 or 60min per day?) to indulge your curiosity. Try it for a few weeks and see how it feels. See if that’s enough or if you find yourself missing out on other aspects of your life. A lot of people swear by a daily practice and maybe part of yours could be learning or practicing your craft.
2) Journal / meditate. Allow yourself to notice these thoughts of anxiety and stress and release them as you breathe out, or write about them or draw imagery as you explore these thoughts deeper. Just transferring these thoughts from an internal experience to an external act helps a lot of people move through feelings of discomfort.
Either way, bottling these feelings probably won’t help. I’d recommend finding some outlet for your thoughts.
And by the way this all sounds totally normal and relatable.
If neither if those things work, maybe just give yourself little 2 or 3 week experimentation windows to try something new. Whatever brings you the least amount of suffering is probably a good choice.
