i'm a little worry flower and i would really love to learn how to tone it down this year. this awareness of my blossoming worry flower within always helps me to recognize it in the moment and i try to work through it with breathing and positive thoughts. i mean, i don't just worry about myself, i worry about my loved ones, my tribe, our precious mother earth, our government, etc.

don't get me wrong. i am not sitting curled up on my couch in constant worry of all around me. i usually go about my days in somewhat of a calm but this is when i internalize a lot and it manifests itself in my tight knotted shoulders. i am learning to transform my worry into trust or just realizing that worry doesn't help an issue as much action does.

meditation and yoga does help and perhaps writing down my worries and then transforming those worries to something positive on paper.

sharing it all here is a start.
