Today I woke to some anxiety, there was this tightness in my chest. And I know where it comes from and why it’s rising. It’s worry. It’s stress. It’s wanting to meet everyone’s expectations... and this stress is real. Being pulled in so many directions is real. The old Alicia, her instinct was to not show up and do what is required of me. I would give in and let anxiety win. But the past few days have revealed some other truths. Doing this work to get beneath the surface and clean out the scars of those old wounds is not easy. It’s work. Self care and self love requires so much effort and love and gentleness and compassion. It’s choosing to #saveyourself So much shit rises but what I know to be true it’s that when I’m kind to myself, when I slow my breath I can bring myself back. Today I am reminded that there really isn’t anything I can’t handle and I know I will rise victorious. Thank you to the sweet lady who just smiled at me and melted my heart.
