Breaking Down Anxiety

Anxiety is a real thing.
It causes real issues.
It sucks, actually.
However, it is also there to tell us things.

Tuesday night, Mike was in what could have been a fatal accident in one of the buses used for transport.
Thankfully, no one was seriously injured.
No other vehicles were effected.
Mike came away with just scrapes, cuts and a lot of soreness.
Someone had messed with the front tires/wheels.
It worked.
They came off while on the freeway, going freeway speed.

My anxiety went through the roof!

I missed having Jackson with me for his birthday.
I have a mammogram today.
It's my first one.
Even though I spend a good amount of time at the doctor office and the hospital, this one has been all kinds of nervous.
Co-parenting is not for the weak.
Purple hair is going to stand out in the wedding photos.... that's for sure...

We need to listen to our anxiety.
We need to at least try to be aware of all of the sources that it could be coming from.
Then, we need to not judge ourselves.
Give ourselves grace.
Ask ourselves if there is anything we can do about any of it.
If there isn't, then we let it go. 
As best we can.
If there is, then we do what we can under our circumstances.
