Rejection to Rebirth: A Luna's Vengeance
“Why don’t we go through some focus exercises? It might help channel your energy, keep your mind sharp.”
I consider this, then nod slowly. “Okay, let’s do that. Maybe it will help.”
We move to a quieter corner of the room, and Kris guides me through breathing techniques designed to center and calm the mind. “Breathe in for four counts, hold for four, breathe out for four, and hold for four. Focus only on the breathing,” she instructs softly.
I follow her lead, closing my eyes and concentrating on the rhythm of my breath. Inhale. Hold. Exhale. Hold. Gradually, the tightness in my chest loosens a bit, the edge of panic dulling into something more manageable.
