Daily writing prompt
What makes you nervous?
Hmm ... Most anything, sometimes it seems, makes me "nervous" ... though I tend to use the word "anxious" instead. Same thing tho'.
When I was 10 I began having this nervous / anxious feeling every day before school. It usually subsided by the time I got on campus, but it was my daily companion all the same.
Now 40+ years later, I still experience the same feelings, often times. The two big differences are:
1/ I've come to realize it's my less contemplative, Lizard Brain that is activating that sensation, as fears and tasks and struggles (real or imagined) start bubbling in my mind ...
2/ It's at that line in the ground I must use equality primitive and effective strategies to keep my wits and control of events, of my own circumstance.
It's still a struggle, but I've gotten better.
Onward.
