You figured it out. It's like riding a horse. If you hold the reins too tight, the horse can feel your tension, the anxiety, and will act accordingly; scittish, fractured, turning in all the wrong directions at the same time. When you relax, loosen the reins, the horse--the thing that carries you, day in and day out--relaxes as well. It lets you decide which direction, not it. There no longer is the struggle to see who is stronger; there is a mutual agreement that it is a combined effort, best undertaken with measured steps and quiet breathing. <3
I love your writing list, film list and self care list. Self care is so important for my own sanity.
I've been wondering when this was going to happen. Congratulations.
😅 Congratulations?
