When one tidal event threatens to crash over your day, look around and notice all the awesome occurrences: sunshine, a bird flying by, you standing there, the millions of specs of sand in particular formation, the sound of that very moment which will never be exactly replicated in its precise tonality to your degrading ears and the equally aging world. Look back at the wave, it's crashed far short of your feet. You are on solid ground, you laugh. The abundance of the positive always overcomes the perceived magnitude of the negative. When a negative perception of an event starts to take physiological hold:
Stop.
Detach from your emotion by remembering that it's fleeting.
Look around and see all the variables and details around you that could be a million times worse.
Watch the negative perception fade.
