I woke up this morning to the shrill sound of my alarm clock, after being on holiday for 5 days, where I peacefully woke up when I was ready to awake. The usual daily tasks awaited me. Dogs to be let out and walked, and cats to be fed. I received a text from one of my employees calling in sick (I'm already 3 employees down). Which means much more work for me. I found myself dreading going in to work, and felt a bit of the usual nausea and heavy, aching arms, with a bit of a racing heart.
I stopped and thought to myself, the usual morning crap. Then I thought, no, it's my reaction to these events that matter. All of the symptoms were gone within 10 minutes and I feel fine, ready to face the day.
Possibly it's time to take a deeper look at work and my home responsibilities, as I felt none of this on holiday. I am finally getting to the point where I realize that a little anxiety is a normal thing, and it's up to me to take control of my life. That's a good feeling.
