Today, I will try to take it easy. I will try to keep my thoughts focused on something postive. I will breathe deeply when I need to and rest when I need to.
Just for today, I'll give myself a soothing foot rub, take a nice warm bath or watch a funny movie. I will reward myself for showing the slightest bit of courage when my fears rear their ugly heads.
Today, just for today, I will try not to worry about the little things that can keep me up at night. I will not think about what's going to happen an hour from now or even tomorrow; I will focus on the here and now, this very moment and smile. I will take things one moment at a time.
Just for today, I will stretch out all of my muscles and focus on that relaxing sensation I get after a good body stretch. I will take a nice, long, deep breath and let it out slowly, and savior the feeling of having fresh air in my lungs. I will do this when ever I want.
Today, I will try take out 10 minutes to learn something new about myself; about how important I am, and get it onto my head that I am much stronger than I tend to believe.
Today, even if it's for only a few moments, I will choose to be free of fear.
And if I didn't get that far today, that's okay too, because there is always tommorow, there will always be another chance for me to show my courage.
For my fellow emets.......just for today, try and take it easy.
