Luv this! Can I count the ways?
Self-care - “Don’t sacrifice yourself too much, because if you sacrifice too much there’s nothing else you can give and nobody will care for you.” ― Karl Lagerfeld via goodreads

Bring a smile - “We must risk delight. We can do without pleasure, but not delight. Not enjoyment. We must have the stubbornness to accept our gladness in the ruthless furnace of this world. To make injustice the only measure of our attention is to praise the Devil.” ~ Jack Gilbert

Feel safe - "When we feel safe the present comes alive." Source: Ourbond.com

Feel calm - "We can't control what happens on the outside but we do have a say over the quality of our mind. No matter what's going on, if your mind is OK, everything is OK. Right now." source: Psychology Today

Feel peace - "When you feel peaceful, you accept the challenges and face them with a newfound resilience." Source: Drivethru

Thanks Sprinkle for this. Finding quotes was fun.

I'll start mediating on the Test-Operate-Test-Exit psychology set-up in my Steinbeck Warmups thread if you care to come visit. I'm playing it keyed it songs & poetry.
