Breathe in 1, 2, 3, 4. Breathe out 1, 2, 3, 4. Repeat after me: I am calm. I'm at peace.” After years of forcing herself to commit to this one-minute morning meditation routine, it became a part of her survival kit for her life, though now she was no longer sitting in the overcrowded living room at 5 a.m., painfully aware of every sound in the house, scrunching her face at each little noise, thinking one—or both of the kids had woken.
