It's been wild though, how my moods and body have fluctuated through all this. Like a mourning process. Even old wounds, like a twisted ankle, have given me grief again because I'm tied up in knots most days. Deep breaths... Thanks for a great reminder and share. Can't wait for your next release. 🙂Kathryn Hillshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10210913950491846725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7618899325720287751.post-62304346006297638072020-04-28T03:46:27.232-05:002020-04-28T03:46:27.232-05:00Msredk - First, I'm so sorry about the PTSD.

Second, good for you that you can find ways to counteract the anxiety that comes along with the affliction. Staying calm is hard in the world we live in right now, so BRAVA for you being able to remain so. thanks for your comments and for dropping by today.peggy jaegerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09767089116387597036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7618899325720287751.post-90136088009333190952020-04-27T20:52:21.420-05:002020-04-27T20:52:21.420-05:00What a great post and so very true.

If breathing ( normally) weren't an autonomic response in our bodies, most of us would pass out from lack of oxygen!! hee hee. But seriously, taking a breath and holding it for a few beats benefits the psyche, the emotions, and your anxiety so much. I had the opportunity to get really mad at something today and my knee jerk reaction was to fire off a nasty-gram email. But I took my own advice, took a a few breaths, reread what made me mad, and realized I wasn't as angry about it any more, so I saved myself an angry email. It really does work.peggy jaegerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09767089116387597036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7618899325720287751.post-6624922136365982022020-04-27T17:40:59.999-05:002020-04-27T17:40:59.999-05:00The new normal is just what it is, Tena.
