Tanner's prompt for today is Anxiety.
I write about anxiety a lot. You guys know this. So instead of doing that, I'm going to write about the opposite of anxiety. According to Google, the opposite of anxiety is "calmness" or "serenity."
Calmness = the state or quality of being free from agitation or strong emotion.
Serenity = the state of being calm, peaceful, and untroubled.
I tend to associate calmness and serenity with places. The bluff at CUW. University Lutheran's sanctuary. My balcony. Melissa's living room. Lindsey's backyard. These are places where I feel no pressure to succeed, no fear of judgement, only the opportunity for peace and joy. I can go to these places, even in my mind if I can't be there in person, and feel okay.
Any of you have places like this?
Stay tuned for June 1st: Breathe.
