I was so uncomfortable

Hey Calm & Colorful Mama!!
I’ve been into this emotional regulation thing for a while. And the longer I do it, the more I feel like I need to remind you that I was a newbie once, too.
And by newbie, I mean it.
The first time I went to my first acupuncture appointment he prescribed me to breathe, I was so uncomfortable. I had no idea as a 20 something year old I didn't know I wasn't breathing the most optimal way. I had high anxiety and it was directly linked to the way I was unintentionally breathing with my chest.
But I kept going. First, I learned different breathing exercises. Then I started meditating. Then I created a daily practice of intentional breathing.
And now? I live a calm and colorful life (even as a new mommy and full time traveler).
If you’re not already there, I know you can get there too, . I mean it.
In the meantime, I’d love for you to hit reply and share a story about your “first time” trying something, too. I love getting to know people on this list.
Talk soon.
With love & gratitude,
Jessica Brittani
