A moment with it
Difficult feelings do not need to be defeated before your day can begin. They need to be ridden, and they always lose height eventually.

When a hard feeling rises today, set a timer for 90 seconds and let it pass through.
A quote can steady you. Come back when you want the whole thing heard.
