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.

Finally, be kind to yourself and have a good support system.

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.

I cannot stress the importance of pausing to take a few deep breaths throughout the day. It's simple and effective.

I actually have a lot of guilty pleasures.

No matter what, I find that surrendering is essential.
