First there was the word, and the word was God. Paraphrased from the book of John
Starting your day with the word, or a prayer, or a deeeeppp breath, can be the best preparation for a day of real life. Forgive yourself for the past, and make a resolution that you will have a happy default mode. Imagine a nice picture, a pleasant sound or song, and a nature association to fall back on when the stress creeps in. Think of your stress, think of the picture, think of your stress, think of the song,etc.... And before you put your feet on the ground to start your day- be surefooted. Both feet on the ground, heels pressure, then toe push off. Deep breath. Armed with breathing, memory retraining and God, Nothing is impossible.
