I cannot think of something to write...but found this journal that related to my ownself...and think that I too should try to follow it:

Imagine a calm pool of water. Imagine a tiny little pebble dropped into the center of the water and the ripples of movement that make their way out to the very edges. I vow today to be the pool.
No more tilt, no more frustration and anger, no more lashing out, even if I think it's called for. I am the calm pool of water, and whatever horrible thing gets dropped into the center will dissipate to the edges and leave me calm again.
I will sleep eight hours a night no matter what. I will let go of work things after 12 hours of work, no matter what. I will eat something small first thing in the morning every day. I will not let the physical disturb or effect my mental state any longer.
I accept the incompetence and small minded pettiness and cruelty of others and will no longer let them effect me. Like my inspiration, the jellyfish, I will be kind in the face of cruelty, strong in the face of weakness and calm in the face of chaos.
This journal is my reminder. Stop. Breathe. Whatever the turmoil, it doesn't matter because, really, I've already won.
Now I need to find the one my mother gave me that is very close to this...I should try to live by these rules too.
