When I Can't Do Much, I Need Something To Do...

Lately I've been feeling anxiety again, and it comes out in the way I feel I have to rush, I feel frenzied and panicky, like there are things that need to be done right now, and I can't do any of them fast enough.

I think this is partly due to the appointments and paper work I am doing regarding Thomas's kinder, and his ongoing assessments and eye appointments.

I feel like nothing is right, its all up in the air and that I have to rush so that everything is done now.

Realising that a lot of these things will take time, and that I can't do much about them straight away, I need somewhere for all that energy and frenzy to go.

Some things I have found that help me are taking it out on the housework while listening to music, reading (if I can slow my mind down to do so), making earrings (there is something relaxing about it to me, even if I don't make any, I love just touching and playing with the glass beads), and reading some of my favourite bible verses.

One that has encouraged me today is Matthew 19:26 (NLT) -
"Humanly speaking it is impossible but with God all things are possible."

So right now, I'm going to do the dishes while listening to some music...
