Tonight, I Started To Spiral...

It was just a normal day until It wasn't. I heard someone say something that sent my mind into a tailspin. My anxiety peaked and then I couldn't get out of my own head. This person only mentioned something that I then spun into my own interpretation of what I thought they said and what I think they meant. But see, I know this person well and so while I still think I am right about what they said, I also know that I how I reacted was not the way I wished.

Not too long after that, another someone said something that sent me off the deep end at this point. This is when my anxiety spun completely out of control and I knew at this point that I needed recovery.

My first thoughts were toxic behaviors I could do to make myself feel better. And while they may be a temporary fix, they are certainly not healthy and definitely toxic. If this were even just 3 years ago, I may of went that way. But I have learned enough of my triggers by now that I know physical activity is the way to go.

So I did the most productive thing I know that makes me feel better and so I took a walk. I brought my head phones, through on some music and got going. I chose the healthy route. While it wasn't easy, it was most certainly worth it. It took me a good twenty minutes into my walk to get me over that hump, but I did it. And that it what needs to be celebrated.

Watch here to see how it all went down!
