“Anxiety is not a stop sign — it is a signal passing through.”
When anxiety hits, the instinct is to grip tighter.
*Push it down. Make it stop. Escape it somehow.*
But here’s the quiet invitation your body is offering:
*Let it move.*
Let it rise. Let it swell. Let it speak.
Not because you want to feel it — but because feelings are meant to move, not stay.
Anxiety becomes suffering when it’s trapped. When it’s judged. When it’s feared.
But when you breathe through it — when you let it pass like weather — it softens. Not always quickly, but honestly.
Let your body tremble. Let your breath shake. Let your heart beat fast.
It’s okay.
You’re not broken. You’re not weak.
You’re simply *feeling what wants to leave.*
And when it leaves — even a little — what’s left is space. And in that space, peace returns.
Close your eyes and imagine anxiety as a wave. Feel it rise in your body, crest, and fall back down. With each breath, allow it to move without resistance. Say: 'I allow this to pass through me.'
When anxiety shows up today, name it aloud or in writing: 'This is anxiety.' Then place a hand on your body and say: 'It’s okay to feel this. It won’t stay forever.'
Jordan E. “Before this, I always tried to fight anxiety off. But now I let it move. I breathe. I wait. And eventually — it eases. That shift changed everything for me.”
It’s not here to stay. Let it pass.
