Anxiety feels like your mind is racing but your body is stuck. I can’t focus. My heart feels tight. It’s like I’m trying to live three steps ahead of the present moment, and it’s exhausting.
I’ve been breathing shallow all day. Forgetting to eat. Holding tension in my shoulders. It’s amazing how much the body holds onto what the mind can’t process.
So I’m grounding myself. One deep breath. One glass of water. One kind thought.
I can’t fix everything right now, but I can remind myself that I’m safe. That this feeling will pass. That I’m doing my best—and that’s enough.
