Feeling good right now. My thoughts and emotions have been a swirling mess for the last week or so, but this evening I'm starting to come out of it.
Stopping the anxiety came after praying all day today. Every time a nervous thought came into my head I immediately prayed for it to go away and prayed even harder about the task I was supposed to be doing instead. This advice came from my awesome roomate, Bill. It was most helpful.
But what I realized, or I should say "re-realized", was that quieting mental chaos usually reveals the scary voices you were using the anxiety to cover up. So when those issues began to emerge... wow... and I know this evening was just the beginning.
However, I am still feeling good right now, peaceful. I'm going to be putting my focus back on what I need to be focusing on, which is my spiritual life and relationship with God. I know that sounds cheesy, but I don't have the brain power to say it any other way right now... I'm SO sleepy.
I'll have to elaborate some other time. Goodnight!
