I have a new Motto!!!

 A lot of good things are happening in my life right now. There are a lot of changes happening in my life and when you have anxiety like I do, change, even good change is hard! I have been having a lot of anxiety even though the changes are good, some in the long run and some right now. I have had med changes lately and I even got to get off some of my meds! Hallelujah! This is also the infamous year of 2020 that is causing a lot of anxiety for everyone!

In therapy today we went back over how Anxiety isn't necessarily a bad thing. It is the way my body communicates to me that it isn't feeling safe with the changes. Who knew that bodies have a mind of their own!!! Not me!!! (Silly of me not to know, when I knew all about muscle memory and taught my students to use muscle memory as a skill!!! OH MY GOSH!!!!) Today as I talked in therapy I realized that I am okay with having anxiety. I have had it all my life, it is a part of me. Everyone is having a lot of anxiety during this time. I have a new Motto: Anxiety is okay to have it is a part of life;I just need to manage it so it doesn't keep me from my life! (Therapy is awesome!!! T-Shirt therapy is definitely awesome!!!) And I am still keeping my other motto...    Tomorrow is another day!

I am going to pay attention to my body, do my deep breathing, and talk to my body and let it know it is safe, I chose these changes, they are good changes, keep talking to my body! Keep praying for Jesus to help me find the tools I need to reaffirm to my body that it is safe! Remind my body that all the surgeries and medicines are to help my body to continue to be safe!
