Intense anxiety is keeping me up late tonight. I have been trying to fall asleep for nearly three hours. I took a xanax. No going. I got up and made myself some camomile tea and took two Advil PM. Nope…I cracked open Atlas of the Heart because I need to finish it before Culture Club on 1/26.
I centered myself, took a few deep breaths and heard an owl outside. It’s helping. I went back to a few chapters that resonated with me and reminded me of what these emotions are and how to better understand where they come from. I named the wise owl Brene.
Check her latest book out. This isn’t a plug for our club, this is a suggestion from your friend.
