Come to me o ocean breeze. Gently Dance your way under and over the midnight sea. Come take away all my stress release my anxiety. Come to me oh ocean breeze.

I remind myself Breathe. Close your eyes if you must but breathe. One, Two, Three. Inhale the exhale. Your heart doesn't need to beat so loud. Breathe. There is no real danger, nothing to truly fear, so breathe. Breathe in with the peace that surrounds you out with the anxiety that built. Breathe in with the love we share out with the bottled up fear. Breathe sometimes I need to remind myself to breathe.

As I write I’m 34,005 ft high. I’m flying back to California and anxiety is rising. I feel uncomfortable energy pulsing through my body into my mind. It touches my heart. There is a need to get up, to move, to do something besides sitting still.
My life is returning to me after being on vacation and cementing the process of leaping off a metaphoric cliff that I’ve been staring at for years.
I’m leaving my well paying job with good benefits to pursue my dreams. This is a big step on the path towards my dreams and it feels very real and giant.
This leap of faith I’m facing does not seem logical to me at this moment, but I know it is right. I know I need to leave the office job and start living the life I actually am suppose to live.
The unknown still frightens me.
It is an excited time in my life and I am happy that I am dreamward bound, even if there is fearful energy trying to take control. I won’t let it though, too many great opportunities lay ahead of me. I just have to remember to breathe and remind myself that I’m worth following my dreams.
Calm my mind,
like a gentle breeze.
Please, wash away my insecurities
in a loving river.
Teach my how to sing the songs
that the care free birds sing.
Do not want to worry about tomorrow?
I will try to let tomorrow worry about itself.
Breathe your calming spirit in
and I will breathe my anxiety out.
Today I will remember your gentle breeze,
your loving river,
and live.
