What will happen in the next eight or nine hours? How will things work out? Unless you really need to think about this, why not drop the crystal ball gazing and pay attention to the details of the moments you are living through? That usually requires less energy and stress.
Try: Next time you catch yourself crystal ball gazing, try telling yourself to ‘drop the crystal ball’ and bringing your awareness to the moment.

Dwelling on stressful memories switches on the stress hormones in the body and increases our blood pressure. Better to return to awareness of the moment or to calmly make a plan to avoid a repetition of what you are stressed about.
Try: Do some practice with any memory, positive or negative that comes to mind by silently saying ‘Not happening now’ and returning awareness to the moment.

"The daily bell sets me up for the day. I read it on waking and it helps me to start my day in a positive, kind, compassionate way. I remind myself all the time about what I read. It is a great help in self regulation." KL
