Anxious about something you have no control over?
1) Take a deep, slow breath
2) Think of 3 things that are true RIGHT NOW that you're grateful for
3) Trust your future self to have your back for whatever comes your way

"The fundamental insight of psychoanalysis is the mind is divided against itself. We are of two (or more) minds about most everything.
Psychological health is about integrating the discordant parts and recognizing they are all the same self.
In this way, we become more whole."
