The funniest thing happened today.. I took my young to the park.. figured 2birds, 1stone.. I get to practice relaxing & responding while they play.. I paid a cab there .. walked to the grass & sat down.. not even 5minutes later my youngest is crying with her knees bloody .. She is okay now.. while I would have loved to sit longer this was the perfect opportunity to practice my response. instead of getting stressed, I responded in a gentle & caring manner.. mistakes happen all the time .. instead of getting upset with so many things I embraced calmness & clarity. “Naturally” outside of anxiety I probably would’ve got piss bcuz I spent money & we just got there but we are good & that always outweighs the bad, fact - We are all Safe & I can redirect the situation so that they are not sad too. & I’m proud of myself for taking a leap of faith & getting out.
