Trying to stay calm in the chaos. It’s a vibe. Therapist. Outdoorsist. Hiker. Runner. Dad. It’s not about having it all figured out, it’s about allowing ourselves to be uncomfortable while we try our best. https://strava.app.link/jZGYobbAoWb

Snow, ice, mud, and waterlogged shoes; March in #connecticut. Gortex works great for keeping water out, but it also keeps water in. #trailrunning #yaktrax

What’s your go-to when you want to return to the present?

Anxiety pulls us into the unknown and makes us chase certainty. Grounding brings us back to the present and reminds us that this moment is enough. It’s not about ignoring the worry, it’s about anchoring ourselves so it doesn’t take over. #anxiety #resilience #mentalhealth #gratitude

Is the stork still a thing? 😂. This was a selective interpretation of where babies come from. Refuses to acknowledge there were years together before him. Can’t explain origin of 11yo sister.

The longer we practice sitting with anxiety the more resilient we become. Over time we can learn to tolerate discomfort.

Keep pushing through!

Our 8yo asked if he was hatched from an "egg". For clarification, the egg is formed when the ring was put on my wife's finger at our wedding. I feel like letting this one sit for a few years.

Our internal voice sets the tone. Try shifting from “I can’t do this” to “This is tough, but I’m trying.”

Your narrative matters.

Small Wins Matter. Anxiety can make things feel impossible. Break down your tasks to small, manageable steps. Give yourself permission to feel gratitude for the little victories, they add up. #anxiety #mentalhealth #resilience

A trail run on a cold New England day will certainly help settle the mind.

Trying to acclimate after years away from any social media. No anxiety, just ineptitude with a love of learning curves.

Anxiety often shows up when something matters to us, like an interview, a relationship, a decision. It’s your brain saying, "This is important"! Listen, but don't allow it to take over. Ask yourself, "what makes this important?" #MentalHealth #Anxiety #Resilience

Anxiety isn’t the enemy, it's a survival tool that we sometimes misattribute. Learning to accept it starts with understanding its purpose.
