Racing Thoughts
Racing thoughts whipping through my mind.
I place two fingers on the side of my neck.
My jugular vein is loudly yelling, “lub-dub, lub-dub, lub-dub”
It feels like someone or something has hijacked my brain.
Leaving me helpless and afraid.
I close my eyes, take a deep breath, and count.
One, two, three, four, five.
I fill my body with grounding energy.
Swish! Out goes the nervous energy.
And repeat.
And repeat.
And repeat.
My mind returns to a resting peaceful state.
