“I need to see you. I need to feel you. I want the routine with you and I want the madness with you. I want all of it with you. Feed the cats and get on the damn plane. I want you here with me.”
“Telling yourself that you accept the current state of uncertainty can help, Dr. Brewer said. Try telling yourself, “I’ll change the things I can, and accept the things I can’t.” Identifying and naming your feelings can calm the part of your brain that is feeling stressed. A multi-sensory exercise like five-finger breathing, in which you trace the outline of your hand with a finger while focusing on your breathing, can help stop negative thoughts from taking over.”
