Trusting the next breath
In meditation,
I often catch myself planning.
What’s next?
What’s for breakfast?
What work project to focus on today?
Softening,
I find anxiety.
An unsettled uncertainty.
Tightness in my top chest,
as if I don’t trust the next inhalation.
What does anxiety feel like in your body?
Amidst all the talk this time of year about “resolutions” and becoming a “new you”, it helps me to remember that all I need to do is soften. And trust my next breath.
Until next Sunday,
Lizzie

Thank you Lizzie 🙏🏻❤️ and I absolutely agree about the "next thing", all the "must get done" things that spend far too much time popping up throughout my days. Remembering to be compassionate to myself is helpful, that I am not alone in this is also helpful. You and your mom are a Godsend to me. Happy New Year. May we all pause and be, more.
