Yeah.
You might be denied entry to a country.
So listen, this is a line that I've shared many times, relax into the mess.
And I am no different.
Just because I'm a social worker therapist doesn't mean that I don't get stressed out.
I do, of course.
I'm born human.
But I, too, will relax into the mess.
It's like you surrender.
And the degree to which you don't fight it, you do surrender, you do relax into the mess, you can kind of more easily go with the flow, even if that flow is uncomfortable.
And I was waiting for that to come.
Yeah, that's that deep breath moment.
Literally, not figuratively.
People think, you know, oh, take a deep breath.
They think that's kind of a pejorative comment to the person to cool their jets.
But it's true.
Literally take a deep breath because as we do,
our shoulders tend to come down.
And as our body posture changes, our mood follows.
So yeah, take that deep breath, literally count to 10, taking several deep breaths.
