Following Bread Crumbs

​I didn’t understand it for a long time but my anxiety manifested as an overwhelming need to have all the answers and a clear path. I couldn’t handle a puzzle without all the pieces. I needed my outer world to have order because my inner world was often in chaos for various reasons. Surrender has been a big learning curve for me throughout my journey. Using my intuition and feelings to guide me has been something I’ve had to practice over and over. I’ve had to focus on the present moment as it is with as much compassion as I could trusting that I would be guided one step at a time. As I’ve practice this way of living I have seen the power in my moment to moment presence and my ability to make conscious choices. Even though not having a clear picture or path ahead still scares me at times I am reassured by the moments when pieces start to fit and all the small bread crumbs I’ve collected become a beautiful breakthrough.
