Breathe

I love this paragraph below. I found it on the internet a while ago. It’s written by Daniell Koepke. This paragraph has really helped me in the past. I have a copy of it stuck in my diary, which I obviously take everywhere! Have a read and see what you think!

Breathe. You’re going to be ok. Breathe and remember that you have been in this place before. You’ve been this uncomfortable and anxious and scared and you have survived. Breathe and you know you can survive this too. These feelings can’t break you. They’re painful and debilitating. But you can sit with them and eventually they will pass. Maybe not immediately but sometime soon. They will fade and when they do you will look back at this moment and laugh for having doubted your resilience. I know it feels unbearable right now but keep breathing again and again. This will pass. I promise it will pass.
