I haven’t been feeling well in the head. It is a cluster migraine. My head doesn’t feel normal and my eye sight just isn’t what it should be. I tried to do work today and I was having trouble just because my head felt so strange. There was a certain point in the day when I was sitting at my desk and I saw what I needed to do, but for just a minute, I was just sitting motionless thinking about what I needed to do instead of just doing it. I told myself that I need to just get myself moving and it would be okay. It is amazing how forward motion makes such a difference.
As soon as I started to work, as soon as I just started to do what I needed to do, I felt better. There’s something to having forward momentum. When I have anxiety, I often feel like I am stuck and can’t move. Sometimes I can’t think straight and I get brain fog. However, if I just do something to help myself move forward, then my mind starts to work again..
I guess that most people think about fear and think that the response is fight or flight, but it is often the dear in the headlights response where the person feels frozen and like they can move. That’s my experience. There’s got to be something, even if it is just a little faith in God, that gets the person to start moving again.
My faith saved me. May God’s peace reside in all of our hearts.
