However, I recently stumbled into an evening routine that has dropped my constant anxious boil down to a manageable simmer. Like anything else in the world of mental and emotional health, it's not a panacea. But it is effective.

When it's time for me to get ready for bed, I find a quiet place for a quick "oil check," as I like to call it. I do some deep breathing to start, just to calm my heartbeat (inhale four seconds, exhale four seconds). Then, I note three things I accomplished that day and how they positively impacted others. Close with more breathing, then I get ready for bed.
