Sometimes you need to stay right inside your comfort zone
In February of 2020 the panic attacks came back. I fought them off with the usual mix of breathing, pills and running through the streets in the dark, but I was determined to never let them back in. My mind kept hurting me, and as well I know: Hurt people hurt people. If I was going to find a way over this I needed to start a serious routine of care, support and nourishment for my broken brain.
Having gently coaxed my mind back into a healthy place, I decided to devote one hour a day to keeping it there. From May 1st 2020 I have been researching and recording techniques to look after and strengthen my mental health. And it’s turned out to be my favourite part of my day, when I get to disappear into my safe zone full of comfort and love, from which I am ready to step into the rest of the day
To help me stick to it, and in case it was useful for anyone else, it was all recorded here. And now, four years on, I’ll keep adding things I’m learning about this continuous adventure in and out of my comfort zone.
