When I listen, I am led to solutions.
When everyone I know listens, they are led to solutions.
When everyone I don’t even know, all over the planet, listens, they are led to solutions.
——————
Sometimes I have a scary problem that is so severe, it blocks out my ability to think.
I have learned to calm myself and to take deep breaths.
That is the first tool that I turn to.
Later, I am able to take other steps to relieve my fear and panic.
The best thing that happens is that by calming myself, I am able to listen for solutions.
Sometimes, just calming myself is the solution.
Sometimes, taking the time for deep reflection allows me to hear the solution.
Sometimes, just realizing that I need to stop, or at least slow down, allows me to feel calm.
Doing research can help find a solution.
Immersing myself in creative work always feels good.
Journaling helps me define my problem by putting it into words instead of just letting my feelings take over.
I am so grateful for the opportunities to listen.
The luxury of taking time for self-care is the greatest gift I can give myself.
Learning to practice self-care habitually is important for me.
Realizing the self-care needs to be consistent helps me progress.
The consistent and habitual practice of self-care is new for me.
Often, it is the solution.
