ALTER: to make different without changing into something else.  

Let’s alter a photo as a metaphor for how we can alter and transform our thoughts into something quite different without changing our essence.

Sometimes I start the day absolutely terrified, full of anxiety and fear.  Taking time to address my habit of catastrophizing my worries, I can slowly calm down, transform and alter.  I can see new options, new ways of interpreting my worries, new ways of finding hope.  I’m still me, but stronger.
