Sometimes with certain life events and circumstances our thoughts and emotions spiral out of control like a careening car that we cannot stop or gain control over.
Trying to control the uncontrollable only adds to the feeling of uncontrolledness.
Being anxious about being anxious only adds to the anxiety.
Through meditation and yoga, we can begin to let go and step more into the witness. Unlike the runaway car, you know you are safe on your meditation cushion or yoga mat. You can relax a little. The car’s momentum can eventually decrease, and the car will slow down and maybe even stop.
