1. Respect and embrace your feelings. You are human.
2. Accept reality. What is, is. What’s done is done.
3. Ask yourself:
Why do I feel this way?
What am I afraid of?
What hurts?
What have I lost?
What is my best strategy to overcome this?
What are my most constructive options?
Which is best?
What is the worst thing that can happen?
What is the best thing I can do if this occurs?
4. Ask yourself ongoingly:
How can I be my best at this time?
What are the wisest actions I can take today?
What are the most loving actions I can take?
What’s the most constructive use of my time right now?
5. Stay focused with questions like:
What do I want above all else?
What are the best actions I can take to achieve it?
What is the best action I can take right now?
6. Ask:
What’s best for me? What’s best for you?
Then work out what is best for all of us!
