Give yourself a big sweet gentle deep slow long breath right now.

My new book is coming out. Here’s an excerpt.

One deep breath is often all we need to come back from fear, anger, upset, stress, burnout. One deep breath, in and out.

So take this moment to give yourself a big, deep, full, smooth breath, in and out, gap, in, gap, out…wherever you are, whatever you’re doing.

No, really.

Do it with me: breathe in, fully, pause, relax and breathe out, fully, pause.

Ah…that’s better. ⁠

Don’t overlook the simple tools this life has given us.

“You should sit in meditation for 20 minutes a day, unless you’re too busy…then you should sit for an hour.” ~ Zen adage
