Today I felt myself getting more and more anxious as the day went on. I was going through the motions of getting through the day while taking care of my 2 youngest children. After I laid them down for their naps I felt this rush of worry hit me and I sat down and just cried. I closed my eyes did some breath work and envisioned myself adult self standing behind my young boy self and asked what are you trying to protect me from. After I talked with this part of me I felt a sense of relief and was able to allow my adult self to handle the situation and let my younger self not feel like it needed to protect me in this moment.
