Have you ever awakened in the morning to an unrelenting attack of fear thoughts and stressful what-if scenarios? If not properly dealt with, this kind of opening act can set a dark and troubled tone for the rest of the day. Here’s how to effectively deal with these psychological assaults: 1) Remember that this is just your ego’s habit of framing life situations in the scariest of ways; 2) Become mindful and watch the parade of thoughts without judging or engaging; 3) Focus on the bodily sensations caused by these thoughts; 4) Visualize what you want instead.
Relief.

Oh man, this is solid, practical advice I can REALLY use!
