Obsessive thoughts that take over my mind
Unwelcome waves of anxiety
Tense shoulders
Optimism is a thing… right?
Forgetting to breathe
Mourning the loss of what hasn’t yet come
Yearning for answers not in my control
Hesitating to make decisions
Active imagination
Neglecting other priorities
Doubting myself and others
Suffocating with worry

I really feel, “Mourning the loss of what hasn’t yet come”. I think about one specific “something” every single day and it hasn’t even happened yet. Sometimes it is exhausting.
I love this! Thank you for saying words I couldn’t.

Thank you for the visual reminder to relax my shoulders, unclench my jaw, and breath. Because before I came to comment, I closed my eyes and willed myself to relax.
Thank you.
