When our nervous systems are elevated, we are rarely speaking from our wisest true self.
Taking a break can often be the best thing we can do to maintain connection with ourselves and others.

When anxiety shows up, remember that it is simply a part of us, a messenger, that is trying to tell us something.

Try getting curious:
* What is this feeling here to protect me from?
* What does it need me to know right now?
*Is it asking me to slow down, prepare, or pay attention?

How can you meet your anxiety with curiosity?

Bad days happen. It’s okay to have days that bring grumpiness, disappointment, anxiety, or angry. Allow yourself to feel these emotions.
Then remind yourself that good days also happen too.
