The three C's
You're lying awake wondering what you did wrong.
Do this
- Say it: I didn't Cause it.
- I can't Control it.
- I can't Cure it.
- Then ask: what is one thing I can do for myself today?
Why it works
Strong feelings and urges rise, peak and fall, usually within minutes. A skill gives your body something to do while the wave passes, and each time you ride one out, the next one gets a little easier.
