One second at a time

May I offer some advice to everyone going through pain, some without a support system?

I've always been a spiritual person. Meditation has helped me immensely. It takes practice but I promise you can do it effectively.

Start with your breathing. Sit quietly, close your eyes, put your hand on your stomach and take a deep breath in and push your stomach out, actually it's the diaphragm, hold for 2 seconds then exhale pulling your stomach to your spine. You have to do this consistently and it's calming.

I have a morning routine of deep breathing, practicing mindfulness which grounds me, I use positive affirmations, gratitude and quiet meditation.

It takes practice and effort but it's worth it. I no longer overthink everything, I worry less and I now know that NO is a full sentence lol.

Sending positive vibes and hugs to all of my fellow listeners! 💜🫶🤗
