DRIVE YOUR ANXIETY
The thing about anxiety is that it feeds on itself. The more anxious you are, the more anxious you get. The fear of that heightening is so very real, it escalates the growth even further. Until you are completely and utterly overwhelmed. No longer in charge of your vehicle. The anxiety is driving now. And the only thing you can do, to stop the take-over, is to remove the food source. To sit down, breathe in, breathe out, again, AGAIN. Remind the body that you are the master. You belong in the driver’s seat. Remind your body that you have the power over your lungs, your life-givers. They move to your command. And anxiety is just an unwanted guest that you can relegate to the backseat once more, where it belongs. Drive your anxiety – do not let it drive you.
