Sometimes I'll have a panicky moment, but if I acknowledge it and sit with it a few minutes it subsides.
Amazing isn't it?
Yes it is. That's something I learned to do over the summer in a book I read. It's been very helpful. Previously I would try to force feelings to go away instead of acknowledging them. Part of my whole closed-off mode of operation. No more. Even H commented on this at MC the other day, how much more open I was lately. Yay for me going forward, it's a shame it took me so long to learn this. Oh, the things I wish I had known 20 years ago, seriously.
