Secondly, I wrote “THIS IS GOING TO BE OVER IN HALF AN HOUR” on my office whiteboard to help somebody who has panic attacks rarely lasting longer than 30 minutes. I hope remembering that finally helps that person have fewer and shorter bouts of panic.

Personally, when I say or write “Finally,” I often discover I have more I want to express. In therapy, we call that the “doorknob statement” — an often important statement somebody shares when finally leaving the office, holding the doorknob on the way out.
Finally, here’s my doorknob statement for today:
Finally, I’m letting go of old fears about my health, about performing in front of others, and about taking up space.
Finally, I’m ready to thank all those who helped me create today’s “Finally” post and you — of course! — for reading it, finally.
