Inner strengths are the supplies you’ve got in your pack as you make your way down the twisting and often hard road of life. - Rick Hanson

If you have three to ten minutes, try progressive relaxation, in which you focus systematically on different parts of your body, working either from the feet to the head or vice versa. Depending on how much time you have, you might focus on large sections of your body — e.g., left leg, right leg — or on much smaller units, such as left foot, right foot, left ankle, right ankle, and so on.

Connection. Notice when you feel hurt, resentment, envy, loneliness, or inadequacy. Then recall times when you felt cared about — and times when you felt friendly or caring yourself. Rest in love flowing in and flowing out.

HOW BAD WOULD IT ACTUALLY BE?
