Perfect, Thanks, I will try these tonight.
Downloaded an app called Meditation Studio. I really like their meditations and it’s broken up by topic (anxiety, happiness, gratitude, zen, etc). You can play different background noises too.
I also try restorative yoga which is more about laying still, learning to count breaths, and trying to make breaths get longer… 5 counts long inhale, 5 count long exhale… 6 counts long inhale, 6 count long exhale… 7 counts long inhale, 7 count long exhale…
You get the idea! Hope this helps!

I’m going to give these a try thanks
Found this app -

I’ve only completed the first step but it seems really good and as far as I can tell it’s free 
My therapist had me download the Calm app. I really like this one and the gal that voices them has a nice voice.
I also really like affirmations and meditations from PinchMeLiving.com. You can download them for a few bucks and I’ve got them uploaded to my phone and iPod. They’re great to listen to while I’m working or on a long drive home.
Headspace is a great one to start and when you get though the free stuff move onto insight timer. I’m on that one now. I mediate regularly. It’s become routine. I also listen to affirmations daily and while I sleep. I will get to where I want to be. Meditation has been the foundation I’ve started to build my new home on.
