Enough already as the Americans say.

Enough anxiety, stress, insomnia.  Enough feeling a failure, feeling overwhelmed, feeling helpless even.

What a horrible last few months.

In the end it all comes down to me "GETTING A GRIP" - realising that I need to heal me and give myself some space so that I can manage my day to day life better.

Coping mechanisms:
Pilates, yoga, running, blogging, cups of tea in bed before sleep, Downton Abbey, reading, fireside chats with Damien.

What are my positive inner strengths?  What are my behavioural strengths?

Ability to focus and get things done
Ability to learn from things, particularly reading and reflection there on.

Acceptance and surrender the things we cannot control
