Prayer and meditation - which I was introduced to at a recovery facility. You will find a lot of information about meditation on the internet and Lionel's thread on Prayer is still going strong. The prayers in the BB are fantastic - Step 3 and Step 7 and the serenity prayer, ofcourse.

Vipassana Meditation

I just said this in another post but will mention it again: "The Power of Now" is a book which helped me view things so differently-focus on the NOW, it is all we have. I tend to think "I will be happy when I do, or achieve, or get, so and so....." Then I get it and say, "ok, what next." I need to enjoy the journey. This concious awareness of the present moment will help you relax.

I was always in a huge hurry to go nowhere.
In totally surrendering my brain to a higher power, I have taken great steps in calming my brain down.
I learn alot of stuff about myself by working the steps.
These are some of my top character defects, I am very aware of them now.

I truly believe that the only way to get rid of some of these CD's, is by total surrender.

I have been told from the start and continue to find it to be the case.....When we pray for patience and tolerance God gives us opportunities to practice patience and tolerance.

Best of luck to you.

I learned to slow down and take it easy when I finally "let go and let God." Since I am no longer in charge of running my life, I find I don't have nearly as much to do, and I don't have to be in such a hurry.

My DH also taught me something very valuable. When I would run around in a dither with so much stuff to do, he would ask me "if that doesn't get done right now, is it going to matter next year? next month? tomorrow?"

I realized that much of my rush and chaos was created by me. Much of the stuff just isn't that important. Somehow I assume that all that stuff is important, and the more "important" stuff I have to do, the more important I am. So I create stuff to do so I can feel important - talk about ego.

So now, I feel that the less I have to do, the closer I am the my HP.
