Weekly Roundup: Anxiety
February 15 - 19, 2021
Monday: You are the friend that must look in the mirror and say, “ I love you just the way you are, exactly the way you feel.”
Tuesday: Anxiety and creativity are related. The greater someone’s imagination, the more they feel anxious. All that creative energy is channeled toward hypothetical disaster. Anxiety, you might say, is pent-up imagination.
Wednesday: Where’s the pressure valve? Not the unhealthy coping. Not the destructive numbing agent. What’s your concrete, repeatable, creative habit that can syphon off some of the build up?
Thursday: Slowing down (prayer, meditation, self-reflection, etc.) and speeding up (exercise, movement, physical exertion, etc.) help us tend to anxiety.
Friday: Anxiety is incarnate language. It’s the vocabulary and syntax of a different intelligence center. It’s the melody of a bodily song to which our ears are not attuned. It’s the expression of a fleshly brilliance from which we’ve been disconnected.
