It's still going 1,000 miles/hour over here.
I'm in this cycle of experiencing "familiar pain", realizing I'm looping myself and seeing my patterns.
Feeling anxious. Trying to calm myself down.
And yet still somehow knowing that this is exactly what I needed to go through to reach healing.
This resonates. I have felt like I exist in one big loop at times, very familiar beats.
Hang in there, keep moving.

Thank you! 🫂🫂
Yes, I heard about "the patterns, the patrerns" talk forever. Now I'm feeling it for what it is. It's good to be able to see it, now I can choose differently.
That’s kind of how I thought about it - at least I am recognizing it. Still can take time to make the adjustment. Still a work in progress.
It's like an emotional detox.
You'll just have to go through the symptoms...to get rid of the toxins stored inside for a very long time.
What a lot of people aren't telling is that they feel the same as You. It's typical of this time. I've noticed that in the past year when friends talked about it to me. It is often a combination of personal experiences and the state of the world atm.
The world is transitioning from one era into another, a change in very long term cycles. With that, this has its effects on people on a personal level too.
More importantly, dealing with anxiety is to confront that anxiety. So, if one is afraid to do something, go do it and do it again. That reprograms someones memory. The first time it's very unpleasent and difficult, the second time a little bit less and so on.
A trauma in someones personal past can cause anxiety too. The key is to talk about it to someone that You trust. By doing that, You're reliving it to a centain extent and it gets processed more completely. On top of that the effect of this too is that You're giving a part of the anxiety away to the one that You're talking to and thus it releaves You from it.
There exists also certain breathing exercises to get calm almost instantly in any anxious situation, once practised often. It's the technique of Öst, I'm not sure if it is easely to find online.
I hope this helps You a bit. 😉
