Breathe. The past proves what you can endure. All you can do and even shows you ways to do things differently. The future will reflect the choices you're making right now. Worry and stress come from attempting to alter the future without being in the current moment. This instant is the only reality, the only thing you truly can control. Not what's going to happen tomorrow or in two weeks or twenty years. That will come without fail. But right now you control, you choose, you own. It's so easy to fall into the future before it's here, to let overwhelm consume you, to want to jump in bed and hide there to avoid the adulting, the dark and stormies you're creating. Would it be possible to recognize the panic, fear, overwhelm coming and to make the next step however small in spite of the normal reactions? Answer, yes. See it is impossible to think about two things simultaneously. (really, look it up) Right now, you're reading this and not thinking about your stress.. And look, now you're thinking about your stress... You're in the drivers seat. Practice: next time you feel the negativity coming on, I want you to close your eyes, take a deep breath, feel the weight of your body onto the Earth. Think about your pinky toe, then your collarbone, then your left knee and then your right ear. Repeat that. You are choosing to consciously think about something other than your stress. It is completely possible to choose one thought over another, so why do you continue to give your power away? be right here, right now, and take the next smallest step towards what you want for your life. After all, tiny steps still make a mile; your job is to know the direction, right now, before the destination. #gogently #stayinthismoment #tinystepsmakeamile https://www.instagram.com/p/B1qyaR_hg7Y/?igshid=xo6svrx2z6vb
