The mantra I was taught is "I am well, calm, and happy". I also add other stuff like gratitude and humility but that is the base chant in my head. Because anxiety is just a skip in the record right? So I choose what plays on repeat in my brain. 15 minutes, changes the whole outlook. So I'm 40 now and have so few events like the one you have just come out of, and no longer pick my face. All because I decide what plays on loop. Takes a little mental disciple,, you gotta be patient with yourself at first, but I think it is a life line if you want to use it. <strong>You know what? That actually sounds like a wonderful idea. It's that skipped record thing that bugs me out at night the most. When I can't focus on anything because I'm focusing on everything. I'm going to start giving that a try. And thank you. Very much.

So I’m 40 now and have so few events like the one you have just come out of, and no longer pick my face. All because I decide what plays on loop. Takes a little mental disciple,, you gotta be patient with yourself at first, but I think it is a life line if you want to use it.

And thank you. Very much.
