Thanks so much, Vickey! Wow. So happy my article was able to help. Also may want to try this at work, or anywhere you might get stressed -- just ask yourself, 'Is the moment I'm in right now that bad?' MOST of the time the answer will be NO, it's okay. Maybe not great, but usually not terrible. Where we get in trouble is when we allow our minds to head to the future or past...like "Oh great, another customer who was rude to me. That's the fourth one today! I'll bet there will be more..." No. Just try to stay in the moment and say, "Okay, right now someone was just rude. It's not that huge a deal. I'm still alive. Life goes on." Hope that helps.
