ways to cool down the panick

long story short, I experienced some relationship issues today...


I became heated with panick and a sense of the unjust inside me...


I was about to call my therapist and leave a message but I decided,


with a presence of mind, to just cool it down inside myself a bit


- deep breaths - and go about giving myself a little snack of 


a bowl of brown rice! People are not perfect niether me nor them..


for what I seem to cope with at times is a sense of 'not getting angry at a well that has no water.'


That image helps and helped.


I need to learn to say no when I can - but if I can honestly help them out - why would I say no?


I am already so dependent on them - it feels a kind of duty.


The rice it's just done in the microwave now - so I'll go


and grab it...I think things are good. :)

Hope you work through the challenges with grace and lean on the people you trust. With honesty.

A bowl of brown rice - hmmmm. That doesn’t sound very yummy to me hehe.

i like the well image. it works beautifully.

a mantra i like for helping me calm my relationship snot knots is
wear you love like an armor and forgiveness like a shield.

to be human is to be imperfect.
