This time, for me, is now... taking the weekend away from the noise of the world. Running on Q.

Feed your soul. Rest your mind and PLEASE... be kind to yourself! 🤙

Have a wonderful weekend!

Person of Interest: Chess Archetypes

The difference seems really small, but for me, there was a big difference between being aware of my anxiety and why it was there (important, but less helpful in feeling better). And actually addressing it as if it was a person and letting it know that I heard it and was handling it. Treating my anxiety as a small, nervous me made me empathize with it more, and in turn, help it calm down because it felt listened to. My anxiety wasn’t flaring up for no reason- it cared about things important to me and wanted to make sure I didn’t drop the ball. Assuring it that I was carrying the ball allowed it to ease up. ☺️
