Counting to 8 over and over. I used to be a dancer, so it's really therapeutic. I also daydream a lot.

In difficult situations, I tell myself, “well, it’s an experience.” Sounds daft but it helps so much, maybe because it separates me from the problem and reminds me that, one day, it’ll be just a memory.
Also, when I mess up: good judgement comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgement.

Hug my dog or listen to music. But hugging my beautiful dog Shilo ALWAYS works. Even when I am away from him just thinking of him calms me. feel so lucky to have him.
