My Old Mantra....

When I was 20 (almost 17 years ago!) I used to work for St John Ambulance as a co-ordinator for the trainers.

During this time of my life I used to get very stressed and frustrated and could be quite verbal about things! As a joke one day one of my colleagues came into the office with an A4 sheet and said whenever you feel stressed this is what you need to say, the sheet read:

"Every moment of every day I feel peace and calm envelop me"....

So, I started to use this instead of counting to ten. Everyone found it hilarious but it actually calmed me down. I kept this up for the remainder of my time in St. John, when I left to travel to Australia the team went to the local Grogg shop and had this made especially for me. I loved it then and I still do, this little sheep has pride of place in my kitchen.
