When we are very anxious about something it can help to ask and answer a few structured questions. What do I fear will happen? What do I hope will happen? What do I expect will actually happen? The answer to the third question can bring you back to a sense of proportion and balance. (From my book Daily Calm).
Try: Think of an issue you are concerned about and ask those questions.

Gratitude benefits wellbeing. The quality of gratitude is in you, not in what you are grateful for. It can be for a flower in a window box or the smell of coffee - it doesn’t have to be for something big. Either way, it’s good for you.
Try: Think of some small, unimportant things you can be grateful for right now and try to feel the sensation of gratitude.

"The daily bell sets me up for the day. I read it on waking and it helps me to start my day in a positive, kind, compassionate way. I remind myself all the time about what I read. It is a great help in self regulation." KL
