Early Halloween Party Test

I took my boys to a celebration at their school. Normally I would be in panic mode from the start till the end. It was a good chance to test out my new ignoring anxiety skills. Lots of people, very loud, for hours. I actually had a good time watching them and when anxiety came over me or if I started feeling disturbed from my unusual scary thoughts, I was like Nah I don’t think so!!!!!! and the anxiety would leave right away. I feel so free. Oh, and I drove in the dark with rain and lived to tell. So I’m pretty happy about all of this. Finally thank God.

WOW!!! What a big break through! Now you know you can do it. Maybe not all the time, or even most of the time, but, WOW!

Love the boys! How old are they?
