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

No matter what, I find that surrendering is essential.

Be kind to yourself and to others. Treat others the way you would want to be treated. I was told that every day of my childhood.

I learned how to get rid of the Southern accent when I was, like, 11 years old and living in New York for the summer doing modeling and commercials and auditioning for Broadway. The mother I lived with for the summer taught me how to drop my Southern accent.

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.
