In these moments, I find the only thing that helps is to move. To get up, shift my gears, get a glass of water, wash my face, take a big breath, breathe it out, and then say something in the mirror in a whisper-yell like, “Fuck my life right now!!!!” Lol. This usually does the trick. And then, I look at myself and I ask all the parts of myself: “What do we need?” And last night, it was a dark room, where I could hide in fetal position for five minutes without anyone knowing, until all that stuff dissolved enough for me to be able to access enough patience to be present and connect.
