anxiety, trauma 

One of the things I’ve been working on the past few weeks is to try to stop feeling anxious about hearing heavy footsteps. The mantra I came up with to try to move past it is ‘it’s not my problem’. Heavy footsteps don’t always mean someone is angry and even if they are angry they need to work it out on their own. I don’t need to hide from it and I’m also not responsible to engage.
