I really like your posts about anxiety. It's very hard to explain how you feel when you're anxious.
We have a Spanish saying: "vuela el viento pero más el pensamiento". It can be translated as "the wind blows, the mind still more". I repeated this saying to me in the worst moments of my anxiety, trying to counterattack those dark journeys of my mind into an unlikely future.
That's such an apt saying, especially given it references the wind (which is the element correlated to anxiety in Ayurveda). I hope it helped you come back to stillness, like a mantra. Thanks for sharing and commenting 😊
Ah, such a great description in the first two paragraphs of anxiety. I love the way you language everything - easy to understand and relate to. I share your passion for making public spaces more pleasant to be in! There is some good research (which I don't have to hand) on the positive outcomes for patients in hospital if they have access to nature or even a view of sky or nature out of the window. I find many public spaces (especially shopping malls) very difficult places to be in - exhausting and scattering of my energy!
Another beautiful essay. Thank you for this wisdom!
