Not exactly the best way to spend a night... sorry for all the ickiness!

Where do your thoughts go when you’re thrown into a stressful situation?

Me? I stop, brace myself and start a private meditation moment. When I sense stress building, I just keep repeating the manta "I am in the here and now... I can get through this..." the words just keep repeating in my head, or under my breath.

Thank you. It definitely was not an enjoyable evening. But we got through and it could have been worse.

I like your mantra. Often that is the kind of grounding that I need, it just doesn't come easily to me. Thanks for stopping by!
