It's Sunday, let's go!
Before reading I want you to do four box breaths.
Exhale to a count of four, holding your lungs empty for a four-count, inhaling at the same pace, and holding air in your lungs for a count of four before exhaling.
Repeat 4 times.

❓Self-reflection question of the week❓:
"Life will present you with people and circumstances to reveal where you're not free"
What situations & people trigger anxiety in me?
This is always an interesting exercise to undertake.
What this will do is allow you to shine a light on your triggers.
Getting curious about your triggers will allow you to better understand your mental environment and allow you to take action to address them.
Spend some this week journalling & taking a mental note of situations & people that trigger a disproportionally negative reaction inside of you.
