A more helpful breathing technique for flare-ups, anxiety, and overwhelm
Have you found that trying to calm yourself down with deep breaths don't always work when you're in the midst of anxiety, panic attack, or flare-up?
That is usually because you're forcing your body to suppress the very natural nervous system responses to these overwhelming things rather than addressing them.
For the stressed and depleted women who do too much
You are tired.
So, so tired.
But you don't know if you can stop.
You are afraid to stop.
You are afraid that, if you stop, the threads of your world,
And the worlds around you,
The threads you work so hard to keep together,
Will come apart very quickly.
You bear the compression,
Of the world inside of you,
Of the world around you,
And of the worlds before you.
The compression,
Bottled and pushed down inside,
Is leaking out.
