Sometimes I use Insight Timer for guided meditation, deep-sleep music, or short stories. Love it. My friend used Headspace. I bike- a lot. Well, as much as I can with a toddler I spend a lot of time with.

I'm lucky to live with 40 miles of private trails and unlimited mountain roads to I mountain bike, road bike, and gravel bike right from home. That is probably the best habit I ever picked up. I do that 3-4 times a week.

I can be very analytical and intense, so this really keeps me mellow. My wife would be a basket case if I did not bike. Side benefit- it keeps me lean and my endurance is excellent.

1. Controlled breathing. Search "Combat breathing."

2. Positive self talk.

3. Exercise. I get really good workouts in when I'm mad about something.

4. Recognize that you control very little, but you can usually control your reaction (if you practice).

Stay busy if you have nothing to do all you can do is think about your problems. If that fails talk it out with your buddy’s.

Whether it’s sex or mechanic work, always finish.

I always remind myself that my worst fears often end up not being the case.

So, after I get over the initial shock of the panic, despair, etc. my mantra is...It will pass

..and it usually does.

I admit, I'm a nerd. I use the mantra from Dune, the one the Bene Gesserit use.

"Fear is the mind killer, fear is the little death, that brings total obliteration. I must not fear. I will let it pass over me, and through me, and when it has passed, only I will remain."

Maybe not a perfect rendition, but it works real well for me.

Much longer and more eloquent than mine but essentially the same messaging.

We are our own worst enemy..
