When I notice I feel anxious, envious, or irritable, I like to pause and notice how I\u2019m feeling physically.\xa0 I ask myself, \u201chow did I sleep last night?\u201d, \u201cdo I need to go for a walk?\u201d or \u201cwhat have I eaten today?\u201d\xa0 At times, simply drinking some water or having a good, healthy meal helps me process what I\u2019m truly feeling.\xa0
