Good one, because I do that too. In fact, I've been doing it for years.

Yeah..I look forward to it in the mornings. In silence. Its grounding. To be in the present..at least for that moment..

In other words, mindfulness. It sounds like you practice Buddhism same as me then.

Put on a scented spray or scented hand cream. The sense of smell is often forgotten but is a good one to awaken to help with grounding.

I use the calm app for the daily 10-15 minute meditation, and some of the other. I can give free month to anyone who wants to try it - just pm me.

I have to be careful to avoid reading certain posts, because some can trigger. Although sometimes I can not resist because I am curious about their problems. Then the post triggers me, so the forum can backfire on me, if I'm not careful as to what posts I read. I wonder if anyone else has that problem. So the Coping has to do with resisting the urge to read certain posts. So that's the coping. Anyway, the point is the forum can sometimes backfire on me.
