Oh, my. I wish I was more at ease with myself and around others. Anxiety, I’ve come to realize of late, has weighed on me my entire life. Rooted in self-doubt – no doubt! – I’m always overthinking, overanalyzing and my body always pays the price. Psyche too, I am certain.
I picked up a book at Barnes & Noble recently called The Anxiety Handbook, and I’m trying to use deep breathing, stretching & excercise – movement (!) – to relax my body, undo the knots, and make myself whole. An ongoing process, to be sure.
We recently bought a boat and I am very much looking forward to next summer, being on the water, relaxing to the soothing sound of the waves and the beauty of nature all around us. In the meantime, lots of self-care, enjoying my passions & pursuits while appreciating the many good things in my life!
