All of the sudden the dogs front paws go through the ice and he is falling, becoming consumed by the icy cold river.....
That's when I woke up. In a bit of a panic.
Anxiety filled stress dream ✔️
I am dog sitting this week and there is something about taking care of other people's most prized possessions and loves of their lives that is terrifying. I have been on edge for 2 days now👀 .
What makes it worse is that the dog sleeps upstairs in it's giant bed, while I am downstairs in the guest room. Every noise could be him, wanting to go out? Choking on something he ate? Going through the trash? Getting abducted by aliens👽 ?
Yes, I created my own anxiety and stress around this situation. And I have made it worse by coming up with worst-case scenarios (see dream above).
So after two nights of fitful sleep, worry, anxiety and awful dreams I came up with a solution.
I moved the dog bed downstairs💪
The easy solution and end to my doggy nightmares. What are you stressed or worried about in your life?
What stories have you started to write around your anxiety? Are they even true? If you were to take a step back, get out of your head, could you find an easy solution?
