Grounding

Anxiety
Deep in my gut
Feeling like I’d eaten something bad
Confident that I should clean my fridge
And yet
Tension in my heart
Darkness in my head
Twisting in my gut
Tells me I’m only anxious
Confident that by taking a deep breath
Putting my feet flat on the ground
To truly see and feel even the tiny successes ~
‘Only anxiety’ will calm and disperse like an errant cloud.

“Get yourself grounded and you can 

navigate even the stormiest roads in peace.”
~ Steve Gooder
