great day!! no panic, first in a looonnngggg time. I choose where to focus my attention and decided not to focus in on my body. I never before understood this was even possible, but daily meditation and deep breathing and focusing on the now is beginning to change my life :)
so far so good!! Taking deep breaths often and noticing the now and am having a really nice day, the first in a few years!!! The teens are checking out their new stuff so wanted to take a minute and check in and wish my fellow anxiety sufferers a peaceful day.
i am feeling pretty good, keeping expectations low, trying to stay engaged with my family, and not getting lost in my head with thoughts of what isn't. I haven't had a full attack in weeks, moments of uneasiness and a little sadness missing my mom and brother but its more healthy sadness not obsessive. I really do have to credit Ekhart Tolle and the power of now, retraining my brain is the best thing i am doing for myself, getting better at focusing on the now all the time and noticing when i think about thought. Also, finally being convinced i'm not insane and therefore need to get on the ball has helped alot too. I feel fortunate to be on the right track and my wish is for others to find peace as well
Merry Christmas to you...My wish this year was for inner peace...not just for myself..but for all of us who struggle in this battle within ourselves...May we all if only for tomorrow find some peace in our souls...
Thank you DJ873 - I am having a fairly weird time so far this Christmas and reading your message helped me not to feel so alone
