Often, our minds can paint vivid scenarios our bodies simply can't process. Which can leave us feeling even more stressed than we thought possible.

"Day by day we'll take it. Breath by breath we'll breathe."

Don’t know where I heard it, but it’s becoming a mantra.

You could use it if you want.

On my universe, last election we voted for a bulldog affectionally named gruesome.

He used those pet talk buttons to deliver state of the union speeches and never used them when the press asked questions.

He was a good First pup. Some wonky policies but he mellowed out second term.

I miss him.
