Ohh the pressure…

5 Feb

Stress and anxiety are a very real part of this journey, for me and others close by.

Keeping a lid on those overwhelming feelings isn’t always easy.  Thank goodness I’ve learned to pay attention to these feelings, acknowledge them and try to manage them by using different techniques.  Avoidance is of course the instant reaction, but unfortunately I can’t just close my eyes and wish or will this away.  It’s not going away.
Mindfulness, deep breathing, meditation and a lot of quiet time are all absolute necessities in my everyday right now.  There’s a lot to think about, but I also have a great need to just ‘be’.  Sometimes it’s easier said than done, but it is do-able.
