I usually try to listen to calming music and read through some positive statements I keep in a folder that I have title Happy Thoughts. I place notes, emails, and other happy things that are positive in there. :)<br /><br />Congrats on your upcoming book. It sounds great! <br />~JessDMShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04202502753961748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4206355073837906221.post-6113596944268255532014-01-11T05:53:55.012-08:002014-01-11T05:53:55.012-08:00I rely on my faith.
