One of the many assignments I encourage others to use - just got pulled out and absorbed by me.  "Going to the Paper" can save you and did.  

I haven't slept well for a few consecutive days which ends up making me exhausted and incapable of dealing with a lot of emotions. Why?  My mind races and tries desperately to solve any issues that arise - usually unsuccessful because nothing is clear.  When you write things down - you can see and sort.  And, perception is everything.  Perception comes from your history, your vocabulary and your view.  It is very important to check all three when you are in the struggle.
