Sometimes, even roleplay can feel like too much.Never be afraid to take a break. Put your needs first. You are not responsible for other people's health. Your problems are valid. You are allowed to lean on your peers, and you are allowed to seek time alone. You are also allowed to complain. There's no need to rush.
Take life one step at a time. Accept your faults. Celebrate your strengths. Remember to shine: A star died to make you. You have the power to take control of your life. And you have every right to relax. |
You’ve gotten through this before, and you can do it again.
I want you to notice how you have become just a little bit better than you were last time at dealing with your anxiety. You are here, right now. You are in your body, not outside of it. Take a moment to notice the feeling of your chest expanding and contracting with each breath. Feel the cool air rushing in and the warm air flowing out. This warm air is carrying away your stress and your worry. Feel yourself getting lighter and looser. Your posture has become less effortful and you are already feeling a bit different than you did when you started. No need to put pressure on yourself to relax. Just keep filling your lungs and then gently letting go of all of that murky stress. Notice your body. You don’t need to hold that weight anymore. Let it go. Nice and slow. [Robert Duff] |
