My therapist literally gave me so many and I wrote down a long list of coping statements BUT please tell me why I completely forget all of this when I'm in the middle of or about to spiral somehow.

...See more Good morning healthy living community. I hope this entry finds you well. Just a fun and encouraging topic to discuss "How you start your mornings". I am NOT a morning person but, I love slow and quiet mornings (I look forward to them). I take my kids to their schools, come home, all lights are low, quiet morning jazz music, hot coffee, and my journal and write. Makes me feel like I set up my day for peace.  Do you think how we start our days matter? How we end them? And what routines have you set up for mornings or nights that contribute to wellness?

...See more Hello group! Let's help each other! What are some coping statements, affirmations quotes...you name it, that get you through difficult situations?  I'll go first: "Do your best" "How hard can it be?" "Your feelings are not a reliable compass. Ask questions or take a step back." "You've done harder things."
