My anxiety is back. I noticed it very vividly this morning. I recognized it. Felt the tightness in my chest, the clench of my jaw.
Now the search for why. And what to do about it.
I will tell you that it has passed for the most part. It likely always lingers inside me like a coiled up tiger waiting to pounce. But for now I have tamed it or backed it off.
But I did a nice job this morning of sitting with it, feeling it. Isolating its causes, effects, and experimented with some solutions. (deep breathing and the like). And it has subsided. At least for now.
It was unreasonable for me to think that I wouldn't have another bad moment. And I don't think I really thought that. It is just a disappointment since last week was going so well.
So, here is my plan - I'm going to continue my day. Go home, work out. Perhaps go through some boxes that still need to be unpacked. Basically live my life.
Take care, dear readers - I have a tiger by the tail.
