Meditating with Anxiety
Soothing music. Check.
Comfortable position. Check.
Closed eyes. Check.
Okay, breeeeathe...
Inhale, exhale. Focus on your breath.
Inhale, exhale. Focus on your breath.
Inhale, exhale.
Inhale, exhale.
...is my breath too deep and too slow? Should my inhale be slower than my exhale? Or faster and then slower? Or the same? What’s the right way to breathe for meditating, anyway? What if I breathe too slowly and I pass out from lack of oxygen? Maybe I should breathe faster. Is my heart beating weird now? Yeah, it’s definitely beating weird now and my lungs are... noticeable? I never noticed my lungs before when breathing. This isn’t working. Maybe I should start over again.
Okay, I’ll just start over by breathing normally to get a baseline tempo so I know how much slower to breathe for meditation.
Inhale, exha--Wait, how do I normally breathe? Just go back to breathing normal OMG I CAN’T REMEMBER HOW TO BREATHE NORMAL WHAT IS NORMAL BREATHING I can’t breathe right WTF is wrong with me, just breathe like a regular person, you spaz! i can’t remember how i used to breathe and now i’m hyperventilating a little i think i might pass out is my heart beating weird again it shouldn’t be this hard to remember how i usually breathe without thinking about it okay so just stop thinking about it and it will go back to normal just stop thinking about how you breathe BUT I CAN’T STOP THINKING ABOUT IT NOW I’M OVERTHINKING IT AND HYPERVENTILATING AGAIN WTF i give up
...so, anyway, meditating with anxiety to help with my anxiety only gives me more anxiety, so this is truly going well, thanks for the tip.

DIY magical glowing garden orb. I’m so happy these turned out. I got the old light fixture bulbs from a thrift store and then stuffed them with solar string lights.

Thrift store haul. I’m so happy. Got all this for $25. 2 giant cushions, a funky pillowcase, a rainbowy hand towel, 12 glass vases/orbs (just wait til you see what I do with these!) a retro candle sconce (I’ve got big plans for that too) two adorable Tiffany blue plates, and three little stained glass sun catchers. Get ready. Crafts are coming.

I keep my garbage can tucked away in a vintage cabinet. However, no one ever knows where it is so I made this little sign out of cardboard, papier-mâché, beads, and foam sticker letters, painted bronze. Not my best work but at least you’ll know where the trash is now.

Another thing I crafted over the weekend: a magnetic coffee filter holder. It was plain red when I bought it, so I added magnets on the back and embellished it with some decoupage and (badly) painted script.

I made my bird friends a little house to match mine. And I used old earrings for the flowers/planters.

I wanted to make my boss a personalized gift but couldn’t find a frame I liked. Then I decided I could deconstruct another piece of “art” to make it work for my purpose. I’m happy with how it turned out!
