Proverbial wisdom for today:

Anxiety weighs down the heart,
but a kind word cheers it up.

Anxiety can be core to so many ailments and motivations, so many – from phobias to people pleasing, from mania and adhd to being a loner.

What essentially causes anxiety?
I believe one of the main causes is disconnection:
– from parental attachments
– from knowing oneself
– from family, friends and community
– from life and work purpose

How can a kind word remedy this?
A kind word says:
– I see you
– you are worthwhile
