Kindred,
Take a deep breath.
Breathe.
Take a deep breath.
Breathe.
Repeat.
Say a prayer.
Try the Serenity Prayer (attributed
to Reinhold Neibuhr, 1892-1971):
God, grant me the serenity to accept the
things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference.
Courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference.
Identify the why and how of the problem
or crisis.
Own it.
Then let the bad go; let it go.
Let it go (suggestions):
Write down the problem and burn off the note.
Whisper or scream under water.
Give it up to the Lord.
Pray again.
Try the prayer from Saint Francis of Assisi:
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace;
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
After prayer or meditation, do something
productive.
Exercise
Find tasks to keep busy
Think up solutions
Work on solutions…..
Be strong.
Stand.
And
Let it go.
