A morning ritual is a great way to start any day. Though not all mornings go as planned. Thanks for sharing Doug. A morning ritual is a great way to start any day.

You need to craft it. Actually any sort of special activity gets me centered when I need to be. I have an espresso machine, but no steamer. So I always keep 2 cartons of milk in the fridge, one empty or almost. I fill one so it's about 2/7th full... not quite 1/3, but close. Then shake the milk so it's all froth on the inside so when it pours into my mug it layers upon itself over and over till it is about 1 inch below the top. Then microwave the cup till the foam comes about an inch and a half above the top of the cup. Then either pat it down or wait for it to sink, patting works the best. Then lightly sprinkle sugar on the foam so it doesn't fall through then pour a shot of espresso all over the top of the foam then one more right down the center. Then stir, but only at the very bottom so the foam stays intact. I'm sure everyone has some ritual for something they do and it can help get you centered when you really need it. And in my case, the coffee also helps me start the day. Another blog I read gives me some nice insights, http://anxiousangst.blogspot.com/ check that out too.

What courage to open up the dark places with such honesty. And you have demonstrated a way out of eating over feelings that the hardest to face. Reading this post helps me to see the process of facing the hardest parts of life and coming out on the other side more healed and lighter in spirit AND BODY. I began eating healthier 2 weeks ago and have let go of a whole lot of different foods that were causing me to be sluggish and just plain unhealthy. Now I am 10 lbs lighter (early days). Reading your blog will help me travel this path a little more enlightened. Thanks so much for your honesty and work ! I hope you are feeling better ! Ta Ra for now, Janice Dear Lady Rose,
