We all gonna make it.

A simple meditation to reduce stress is to sit quietly and try to count to 100 cycles of breaths. In-out-one. In-out-two. Etc. And if you lose count the high-level move is to start over.

Even if you are not successful I can almost guarantee that this will reduce some amount of stress.

I've had a period of "I need to take care of myself better" recently. I am new at this "being an adult" thing, and not being someone else's responsibility feels a bit strange. But it is also quite nice, being able to independently decide what will make myself fell better, what will make me relax, what I need to feel better in the long run... It makes me feel competent. And competent is one of the main things I aspire to be.
