Headache

I wake with them sometimes. It’s usually at the base of my neck, perhaps as a result of being hunched over my laptop or just this constant fear of not being good enough and not meeting deadlines. It’s in my gift to stop them but I don’t know how. It’s an inward-looking fearfulness, the other stuff is taken care of, I am safe, fed, watered, I have enough. Fear gorges on my time and energy. I must stop allowing it to do so.
