Slow down

Slow down your thoughts for just a moment
Slow down your worries
Slow down your heart
I know that you have a tendency to feel nothing at all
Until you feel everything at once
And everything at once feels like too much right now
But you can handle this
This overwhelming feeling is going to pass like every other storm has before
The waves are going to go from ten feet tall to tiny ripples on the shore
Feel the air fill your lungs
Take one breath and take one more
Tie your heart back down to your chest and your feet back down to the floor
