Silly Little Things
Sometimes it’s the silly little things that stop my anxiety from spiraling out of control.
Sometimes I’m so anxious that it’s hard to move or feel like I can even face tomorrow.
Lately I’ve been on a mission to try to reduce the times that outside situations make me feel like I can no longer cope with the feelings of anxiety or anxious thoughts running through my mind. One thing I’ve been trying is embracing spontaneity and adding whimsy whenever possible. For me this has meant getting outside to look for isopods under rocks or wearing outfits of colorful skirts and floral dresses and pretending I’m in the mediaeval era.
Earlier today one of my husband and I’s friends was over and I was pointing out a snail in one of my terrariums. He offered to take a photo for me and even edited it and sent it right away. Now, remembering that it’s in my inbox stopped me from spiraling out of control for tomorrow.
It’s things like the silly little snails that hold me together.
@TerrariumSnails3 Awwwww! You have no idea how much I just smiled ☺️ reading your post. Awww, I love this for you! I'm so proud of you for recognizing that sometimes it really is the small things that can stop something from happening. Way to go. ❤️
That's actually a really nice way to look at it and you'll probably inspire others to do the same :)
I think one of my tricks, although I hated attention was doing my nails in odd colours and designs and it kinda acted like a shield, it just pulled away all my nerves and I felt really cool and a lil different.
I did the same with outfits, things that were kookie, I grabbed and wore, not to say, Hey look at me, but to try and find my own identity :)
