Girl, don't you do it!

"You better stay in the flow. Keep your eyes forward!"

That's what I hear when the sabotage is coming. The sticky stuff that pulls me back into the worries of the past.  And it's quick too! If I give it an inch, forget it, I'm back to the downward spiral. This usually happens when I've allowed myself to be vulnerable or step out in a creative, authentic way. Anyone else experience that? Hope not. But if you do you're not alone.  And everyone has to find their own little trick to get back into the flow when that happens. I've tried all kinds of things meditation, positive affirmations, 5 second rule, etc. But what I'm currently testing out, thanks to my amazing therapist, is just dancing.  When a worry comes, when the inner critic is being particularly nasty - I just dance.  Because when I dance there isn't room for anything else. So far so good.
