Watch TV to relax and distract yourself with light material? Plan tomorrow carefully so that it is better?
She was angry at the disparity between her feelings about her day and what she wanted to accomplish, what she expected to accomplish, and what she ultimately accomplished. Then she remembered that she knew how to overcome it.
“I felt my emotions. I did a little self-soothing in the most healthy way possible but nothing terrible. I looked at what was happening and remembered that I could actually control this situation. And once you know better, you can do better!” Ira said in his note. Earlier, Ira’s father had also talked about taking joint therapy with his daughter.
