Just breathe

Do sometimes you just wake up with so much anxiety and heaviness? Heaviness from being disappointed in yourself ?

Well I did this morning.

Just a overwhelming load of who knows what hanging over my head and weighing me down a thousand pounds. I couldn't figure out what was going on until I paid attention to myself and realized what I was feeling. I was beating myself up for losing in a mental battle....  with myself.  It was something so small but I felt like I let people down, I didn't give my best because mentally I had already lost. I lMugh at myself because of the situation - but it's honestly that I'm burdening myself and besting myself up for the mental battle that I lost.

Until I remembered to just breathe. It's amazing how healing/refreshing/releasing deep breathing can be.  I went and laid down on my bed and deep breathed and pictured myself releasing the anxiety and heaviness that was sitting in my chest and the pit of my stomach.

It crazy how our minds work and how powerful they are...

I need to remember to just breathe....
