Proud

I meet my fear with loving attention.

This sign came with a short text. Be proud of how you've been handling these past months. The silent battles you fought, the tears you wiped yourself. Celebrate your strength.

It was seen for a strong and sensitive person whose world was opening up, which brought a lot of anxiety. Instead of pushing it away, make room for it. Put your hand where the anxiety feels strongest and treat it like a small child who is afraid. Breathe and stay with it, without following the stories of the mind.

Then ask yourself. Do I like where I am? Does this give me energy or cost me energy? Is this the life I want to live?
