When fear catches you–from behind, from the sides. When uncertainty grabs you — from the front.
Close your eyes.
Touch your face.
Breathe in deeply. Hold. Exhale slowly. Hold.
Hug yourself.
Open your eyes.
Repeat.
When fear catches you–from behind, from the sides. When uncertainty grabs you — from the front.
Stop.
Turn off your phone.
Return somehow to the water that held you at your beginning.
Slide under the blankets.
Listen.
Smell the pillow you lay your head on.
When fear catches you–from behind, from the sides. When uncertainty grabs you — from the front.
Know that you are not alone.
Turn on your phone; send that message.
