We live in the future
Ignore the present moment
Conjure up catastrophes
Overwhelmed by fear
Our nervous system suffers
Catastrophe rules
Chest tightens, stomach coils, hold breath
Breathe in slowly and deeply
Inhale peace and exhale fear
Most fears never happen
Focus on our gratitude
Stop taking what we have for granted
God help us want what we have
Instead of have what we want
Live in the moment, be here now
We’re OK right now
We think worry prepares us, it doesn’t
Fear closes our minds, doesn’t open them
We deal with the problem when it arises
If all else fails we start singing
Raise our spirits!
