Steve Maraboli's quote I posted yesterday is what I dream I could do. By the end of my day, PTSD reminded me that no day is free of yesterday. I get better at managing each new day but yesterday throws out snares. I felt my anxiety raising at an event. I knew if I just stuck to it not yielding, I would spiral out of control. Instead, I left a bit early and walked in the hallways. I redirected my thinking. I used my past experience to find ways to reduce the feelings of anxiety. Yielding a little helps me stop the spiral that sends my life out of control. I realized my dream is to be able to live the life I could have had without abuse. I dream of feeling a day of peace without triggers. A day to wake up feeling rested. A day without my past leaving potholes and pitfalls. A day of peace.
