I Love This Post Ann!
I really cherish your experience, strength, and hope!
Lately, with all that is going on, I wake up in the morning and my stomach is in anxious knots. So I practice a morning meditation/prayer asking my Higher Power whom I call God to walk with me. And I focus on the positives of the day. During the day it's still a constant struggle to keep the anxiety (which stems from my obsessing) at bay. BUT, I keep trying and I cherish each serene moment. Sometimes they last a minute
), Sometimes for hours. I then remind myself that it's okay if the focus is one minute or one hour at a time over One Day at a Time.
). I give myself permission to not be so hard on myself and focus on my accomplishments.
