Too Much To Juggle

By Dr. Gerald Epstein

Close your eyes.

See yourself as the juggler - relaxed, competent, confident…

Breathe out three times slowly.

See yourself as the juggler - relaxed, competent, confident, fully able to maintain control of the juggled pieces.

Know that as you juggle successfully that you maintain order in your life and the distress disappears.

Breathe out and open your eyes.
