Peace of Mind, Piece of Mind
Today, I woke up feeling like I was going to lose it. Like, really lose it. Like, my cat was going to lose it for me. Okay, maybe that's a bit extreme, but you know what I mean.
I spent the morning pacing around the house, muttering to myself, and generally making a nuisance of myself. My cat, bless their heart, tried to comfort me with a nice game of laser pointer.
But then, something strange happened. I remembered something my therapist told me. Something about taking deep breaths and focusing on the present moment. I'm not sure if I believe in that sort of thing, but it seemed to help.
So, here's the deal. If you're like me, and you're feeling like you're losing your mind, just take a deep breath. And another. And another. And then... try to focus on the fact that, like, the sun is still shining, and the cat is still tolerating your presence.
