Lesson 67: Breathe Into Calm

It’s not always a ringing phone that sends you into fight-or-flight. Maybe it’s the energy at work, or you walk into a room and find a bunch of clutter, or maybe confronting a friend with something difficult you need to speak to them about. Whatever it is, today’s lesson is about breathing into it and creating enough calm to be able to take on the issue. By taking a deep breath in, the next step will be come to you.

I tend to do this when I am losing focus at work. I close my eyes, take in a few deep breaths, be aware that the sun coming through the window is warm and just refocus on the task at hand. It’s very useful when I’m like “oh shit, I just forgot what I was just doing”. I also use this method when I am feeling a bit anxious. Just get those breaths in, bring awareness, and bring some warmth. Then just feel a relaxing calmness fill your body and go back to what you were doing. Sometimes I really feel like it’s a power lift or energy boost if you will. You can power on even if you feel tired and then just keep going. It’s amazing!

Keep those breaths up!
