I was recalling a Byron Katie exercise that’s very effective for bringing a sense of clarity and peace: She takes us into our thoughts of a disastrous future, you’re sick, you have lost your family, lost your money, lost everything that you believe is you. They are taking away everything as you sit on the curb with everything gone. Now close your eyes and see yourself there, your just sitting there peaceful. Even in this distorted future in your mind, sitting there on the curb, in that moment you’re OK. Now come back to right now, drop all your thoughts, notice that right now, right in this moment, you are OK.
