Worrying is like a rocking chair: it gives you something to do, but it doesn't take you anywhere.

I really like the idea of making an appointment to worry for half an hour a day.

I make it a point to not hold my breath.

Yoga, meditation, qigong, tai chi, Zumba, journaling, cooking, gym, phone calls to trusted friends and helping others are all activities that keep my mind occupied and away from worries even if it is temporarily.

I almost forgot, I take vitamin B under my tongue for insomnia.

I hope I can read my own posts in the near future when I need them, but then again 'don't borrow sorrow from tomorrow'.

I wish you all a Serena and restful night.
