Yes! It is possible to live a life where anxiety isn’t in the driver’s seat. Let’s do this together.
WHEN WE RESIST THE URGE TO PUSH OUR ANXIOUS FEELINGS AWAY, WE TEACH OUR NERVOUS SYSTEMS THAT WE ARE SAFE TO FEEL.
this changes our experience of being alive.
I’m going to speculate that most people reading this fall into one of two categories: Anxious or Anxious.
Here’s why: Anxiety and Excitement are processed EXACTLY the same in our physical bodies. And they can both feel pretty uncomfortable if you don’t know this.
Same changes in circulation.
Same changes in heart rate and respiration.
Same changes in digestion.
And so on.
The physical sensations can be confusing because life isn’t black or white. The shades of grey we live in can make us wonder why we feel so off and uneasy. I get it. This has been me many, many times.
If this is you too, here is how to feel better: STAY.
Stay with the feelings.
Stay with the confusion.
Stay with the discomfort.
and ASK.
Ask yourself, Am I anxious? Excited? Grieving? Frightened? Overwhelmed? What else?
Stay like you want to soothe. Ask like you care to learn. And you will feel your Nervous System start to come down, to settle. To know you’re in good hands — your own.
These are not days for the meek, my loves. We are going to need to be wide awake to stay centered. Much to do. I’m here for all of it.
