I don't know. I'm not familiar with that. Has anyone here tried it? Did it feel good?

I used to drink.





Now I drink and take meds.

Jk. I don't drink as I used to. Now I sleep. That's what I do. I sleep. Also, I have become addicted to baby carrots.

I try to remind myself of what it is that I'm passionate about: what differentiates me from others and how can I embody that despite the fact that I am coming up short in this particular instance? Also, if I'm getting knocked on my rear end, I try to remind myself that I won't always have all of the answers and that there's no shame in asking for help and learning from others.  IMO, this has always been a better option than just quitting and walking away with a bruised ego.  In addition, when I'm barely holding it together and am failing in some way, I try and keep the following thought in mind: no reasonable, rational person would ever expect me to be perfect in every context.  Therefore, when faced with a challenge that is putting me on the edge, I try and remind myself that I'm just a person and even the best of us just need to take a break and let things go for a while.  As a result, regardless of success or failure, I have found that letting myself relax and ponder the situation in peace at least provided me with a better understanding of the situation and allowed me to grow from it in some way.  

In addition, I also find that watching one of my favorite movies also helps me out, as it allows me to let go, relax, and not take myself so seriously.
