We often forget how many people think of us dearly and would support us in a heartbeat when anxious feelings and thoughts close in on us. When the mind is whirring about the what ifs and hows, we rarely have space to think about the positives and the could be. I am lucky that sometimes before I reach out for my phone, someone checks up on me unexpectedly. Sometimes they become the next best thing to cry to and rant about whatever that's on my mind, and sometimes they then think to themselves that maybe they shouldn't reach out anymore... But there is kindness in what they do and how they try to help in their way or any other ways.
An anxious mind is a funny thing... It tries very much to detract me from the here and now. It keeps wanting me to worry about the past and tomorrow. It keeps signalling to me that doomsday is near. How do I quiet the mind that's so busy, that is always finding something to latch on and expand it in the worst possible way?
I don't know... I'm still learning
