    Biggest thing im trying to learn still, and will continue to need to learn is to PAUSE!!! I need to start doing it before anything i do, say, etc. Need to practice it for it to become the norm, but pausing before reacting, or speaking or doing is so important with an anxious brain. I also liked in the book im reading the process of SPOT, STOP, SWAP. It talks of recognising negative thoughts and spotting them, stopping once you have spotted them and then finding a way to swap that thought for a positive one :)

      Yeah it’s about training the brain that you don’t need that instinct any more. Slowly changing the response and stuff, but pause and breath are very good things.
