@sashablossom: Think of anxiety not as an enemy to avoid, but as an alarm signal to listen to. It’s your body’s way of saying: “something in here needs your attention...” The tricky part is that our instinct is often to turn away from it. To distract, to minimise, to push through. But what anxiety truly needs is the opposite: turning towards it. A willingness to tune in, ask and listen. I invite you, next time you feel that coiling discomfort of anxiety, to imagine that you are turning your inner eye towards it with compassion. 🌱Then, try asking yourself: What do I feel in here? What do I need? Have I honoured my needs lately? What feelings, tasks or truths am I avoiding? Where am I out of alignment with what actually feels right for me? If my body could speak, what would it say right now? What's the smallest form of expression I could implement in this moment, even if its just an slow exhale or a self-hug? Are my physical foundations tended to: rest, nourishment, hydration, movement etc? Do I have even one safe space for connection or community? Am I being honest with myself about what’s not working? Do I have enough predictability to feel held? Do I have enough spontaneity to feel alive? Your answers aren’t meant to shame you, they’re meant to guide you. To show you're body its listening so its turns off the alarm. Notice where you can make slow, patient adjustments. Above all, meet your anxiety with compassion. Shame only tightens the knot; presence helps it loosen. 🌱 Healing isn’t linear. But it is responsive. When you listen, your body softens. Note: this is not a one size fits all & there can be other explanations for all behaviours. This isn’t a diagnosis or a substitute for professional support.
