Missed call and voice-mail from my doc. . can't reach him . . .test results not emailed to me. . (fast shallow breathing initiated).
Isn't it strange how our minds immediately start running with worst case scenarios? He probably just wanted to tell me everything is still fine, but somehow my brain didn't mind running with whatever might stress me out? Perhaps a biological survival mechanism?
It made me think how easily we can push aside all the positive thoughts and insights about ourselves and let it instantly be taken over by a tiny negative notion.
Even though we seemed programmed to fix what's wrong and face possible threats, that doesn't mean we shouldn't take a step back and see all the beauty, progress and health.
So take a breath and embrace your challenges, armed with experience, love, strength and support.
Go well and God Bless*
