Anything to keep me from facing my anxieties. Except now I am trying to face them here using mindfulness approaches. Breathing in and out, slowly, breathing in and out. Acknowledging my addictive compulsive avoidance and self sabotaging. Asking God's Holy Spirit to guide me, to comfort me, to help me learn to extend compassion to my fearful inner self, my angry resentful inner child. Breathing in and out, slolwy noticing the sensation of my breath at the tip of my nostril as I breathe in and out. Trying to breathe while I note my resistance , my reluctance to engage. Thinking of the inner child like I do with my own kids. trying to be as compassionate with myself as I am towards my boys. Jesus stepped forward into the Garden of Gethsemane acknowledging his reluctance but moving forward mindfully, courageously because of his great compassion for us all. Jesus could have thrown the book at us but didn't. Help me to be as compassionate with my fears and my resentment as Jesus has been with us. Help me to forgive myself instead of screeching at myself. God help my unbelief. Will try to walk mindfully to burn off some anxiety. Help me to compassionate with myself, my colleagues, my patients.
