One Action at a time
Sometimes I get tunnel vision and loose awareness of my life. I always go onto my itunes and listen to this disney classic. It helps me detach myself from my ego and look at everything from a birds perspective or Heaven’s eye. Pun intended 
I have a deck of cue cards on which I have written different affirmations. Couple of years ago, I used to read one every morning.
I found the deck yesterday. I opened it this morning and read out loud:
I can Handle Anything
I lift my legs from underneath my blanket and raise my body. My mind goes off into a million tangents. Brush teeth, comb hair, pick shirt, put on socks etc… I paused my mind and just sat there. I cleared a small area in my room, opened the curtains to let in the beautiful sunlight and sat there in silence. I have realized it was more challenging for me to calm my mental chatter in the morning than it is in the evening. However, once you bring your focus back on the waves of breathing everything melts away.
