Hug Yourself

I was afraid and could not figure out how to change the story in my head.  I was ruminating on the 'what ifs' and was struggling to change my thinking into anything other than a scary situation!  In desperation I gave myself what I wanted someone else to give me...a hug.  My fears were eased and since then I've been  giving myself all kinds of things that I'd like to receive from the world. My newest experiment...hug, smile at, compliment, listen to, laugh at and enjoy myself.  Let's see what this does to my story!  anxiety, depression, trauma, healing, self esteem, change, communication, self care, relationships, addiction
