a couple of weeks ago, i attended a training on the neurobiology of trauma. the trainer gave us an exercise to help with anxiety. it's become a go-to, especially when dealing with difficult people.
it's called, "5 things," and i'd love to share...
when you feel yourself going to an anxious place, utilize your senses to help you stay grounded.
start by acknowledging:
5 things you can see. anything outside of yourself. it can be the pink mug sitting on your desk or the snake plant sitting across the room.

the video of Lecrae is a critical example of why proximity to death-dealing figures and institutions is costly. his entire last album was a strong and CORRECT critique of the white evangelical machine. it’s not that he lacks awareness. it’s that he hasn’t cut ties.
i talked about my divestment from evangelicalism in this video. we have to be clear. in my journey, it involved re-naming, not only in an effort to be clear about what i am, but also what i am NOT. watch here: instagram.com/tv/CAJZbk_gyqS…
