I'm happy to have connected, too! Thank you so much for your kind words. I look forward to listening to your poems tonight when all is quiet, and maybe with a glass of wine.

I love your analogy with martial arts. Definitely a good approach, though tbh I still get sucked into a downward spiral of anxiety despite years of meditation. Your post was a great help, thank you

I am so glad I was able to offer a bit of help. That fills my sails with gratitude. Marital arts is rich with lessons, and I'm sorry to say I haven't trained in years! Anxiety is a tricky indeed. I have come to believe it's a human condition, but varies in its intensity from person to person. From my experience meditation calms it down, but a meditation practice seems to take root with study and contemplation. (Two wings of a bird-- study and practice allows us to fly.)

a perfect comment and something that I know is truth. Instead of beating ourselves up all the time self love and acceptance of what is, is the first step to beat anxiety and other challenges. TY. LOVE THIS
