Baby Steps (One Day, One Hour, One Minute at the Time)

Been a while since my last entry. Life gets in the way, for the good and sometimes for the bad, of course. The important thing is to keep plugging away, keep moving. Too much time to think and over think about my own world can get to be suffocating and overwhelming. Anxiety can be a beast. The triggers are everywhere, no matter how I try to shut them down, they certainly have a way to manifest themselves fairly easily and way too often. One way to fight it is to clear my mind from the things that occupy it so obsessively. Step one, get in touch with someone who I love and trust. She has a calming, soothing way that restores tranquillity. I am lucky to have such a person in my life, even though she is physically far away, she is always so close to my heart and a text and a call away. The second step I need to take is breaking the geo pattern. I have to go outside, find a nice wooded area, surround myself in nature and breath the air in, let the too many thoughts exhale out. Simple steps. Things can and should be taken one day, one hour and one minute at the time.
