Today I went to a park, and for a moment, just a moment, I sat staring out at the grass and the sunset without any attachments to my anxiety. It felt like I was in alignment, and it was peaceful to allow peace into my body. The triggers were there: heat, rumination on possible negatives outcomes, being far from my safety place, but I did it. I was able to experience this brief moment of letting go and letting myself feel happy. I doubt that will be the last time I'll feel that sense of peace, but moments like these show me that it's possible to build a bridge between my anxiety and me. I don't have to be scared of myself. Also Mochi enjoyed being at the park as well 🐶
