Going for a walk is always helpful for me. I also love gratitude exercises.

I have a skill set that often helps me get through hurtful moments or experiences. However, sometimes when the pain cuts really deep, my normal go-to exercises just won't work.

My biggest vulnerability now is my son, Hudson. I am often plagued with fear: Is he ok? Is he safe? I'm in the process of trying to work through this fear. It's a hard one.

No matter what, I find that surrendering is essential.

Reminding myself of all that I have to be thankful for really helps ground me and keeps me from tipping over into that negative place.

I actually have a lot of guilty pleasures.
