I liked this practice. Misplacing my keys at home brings a sense of anxiety. I know it’s not that big of a deal but I can sometimes get so frustrated with it that I want to cry in anger. I have learned it’s not an end of the world problem. Insight timer has helped me with it and this practice today reinforces my thoughts can start a fire in my head or my thoughts can help put one out. What counts is right now. Thanks a lot!
