I found myself in a crummy place mentally on Sunday afternoon.  I headed to yoga class as I usually do.  About half way through the class I realized that nothing, absolutely nothing in my life had happened or changed and here I was feeling so down.  I had created, conjured up, built this  struggle where there was no struggle.  

The words of a street sign "Exit Here" flashed before me.  I new it was time to abort this mental rut.  I promised myself then and there that I wouldn’t leave that yoga room until I was ready to leave the struggle right where it belonged on the floor as I walked away.   It was truly that easy.  I stood up and walked way.  This one decision completely altered what was possible for the rest of the day.

Is there an Exit Here sign wanting your attention? Is there a thought pattern that continues to leave you feeling crummy?   Why not Exit Here?

I have found that to be so true. At times I will find myself feeling anxious to the point of agitation. I'll run around a while all upset and "crazy," and then it hits me, "Why am I anxious?" Sometimes there is a reason, and I can work through it, but sometimes I can find no reason whatsoever. At that point, and even when I do find a reason, I know I have a choice to continue in the anxiety or to walk away.

Great post! Thank you!
