Back In the Saddle

So, it's been a long, long time since I've blogged. With three small children I can understand having other things to do with my limited time alone. But, I continue to journal (off n on) and I like the idea of having a video journal. Its mostly for myself. Maybe one day the boys will get a chance to read some of the things that "mommy" thought about when they were small. As someone who struggles with anxiety I feel its important to get it "out" of me. I recently went to youtube and looked under anxiety and watched a few videos. Very interesting and insightful. This is something that is so prevalent in our stressed out society.I have met kids who are having panic attacks as young as first and second grade. I have have known many young teens to already be on anti-anxiety meds. Again, our society's search for the magic pill to make everything alright. Instead of looking at the causes, lets treat the symptoms. SAD! Anyway, enough of that! I feel blessed to have the support I have. If I can give any advice to anyone who is going through a tough time and may be feeling alone, reach out. If you have one person who knows the real YOU and can accept you for who you are, love them and ask for support. Before you know it....It may be that you have a small circle of support that helps you through the trying times. Baby steps and loving kindness to yourself..then you can be really present for others. My son has experienced some anxiety this year. Its been a real learning experience to teach him tools to handle his anxiety. It helps me to share this information with him. Will speak a bit more about it on my video attachment. Loving blessings to you all xoxo
