When I was anxious, it felt as if I had lost access to what I wanted. Even simple choices became difficult. At restaurants, for example, I couldn’t tell what I felt like eating. I would think about it for a long time and still wouldn’t feel sure. But these days, especially when I feel more connected to myself, something feels different. It’s as if an inner source becomes available again. I can feel what I want more clearly, and my body seems to know before my mind catches up. In those moments, choosing feels easier. And I feel a little closer to myself.
