Just breathe. Remember where you come from and breathe. Whenever I do, it clears my mind to relax.I learned how to cope with the cutting affliction at ten years old when I first attepted to take my own life by overdosing on rat posion. I thank the gods everyday for my life, stupid as it is, and I am grateful for every blessed minute. I thank the Gods for sending me people like you to hug and cry to when things get rough.
Think Limp ..... And Keep Breathing
i find it important when i make that effort ot relax and remember to breath that i let my shoulders drop, my chest collapse and my stomach pop out if it wants to. I slump. I know this isn't aesthetically pleasing posture, but it's perfect for allowing myself to relax and for the breathing ot be effective in this. I can worry about good posture later - i don't need the guilt about now. It took me a little practice, but like Pavlov's dogs, it's often almost immediate these days
