One of the things I’m starting to spend more time upon is being more mindful. Yesterday I had a panic attack, through grounding and questioning I was able to get through it. I don’t know how others deal with their anxiety or panic attacks, and I don’t think people should feel that they have to invalidate others’ experiences in order to feel authentic to their own experiences. I panicked and freaked and had to figure out how to calm down, which wasn’t easy.
Mindfulness or tracking down the cause behind my situation felt healing. I recognized the causes, but processing the emotions and physical aspects of the panic took some time. Asking why helped me and I was able to find footing where previously I felt in a free fall.
I’m thankful for learning to be more mindful. I hope that I will be able to keep learning and growing within myself. Best wishes.
