This week has been challenging, with far too many difficult conversations for a Tuesday. I’m reminded of an Alan Watts quote, “Much of the secret of life consists in knowing how to laugh, and also how to breathe.”
…I can’t control much, but I can control my reactions.

If you can control your reactions. You are light years ahead of me. I'm worse than most 5 year olds.

I like that quote a lot, thanks for sharing it.
I’ve perfected the art of screaming internally.

Happy to share, I enjoyed it as well.
Why is Saturday stronger than Tuesday? Because Tuesday is a weak-day.

to breathe or not to breathe, I learned an intentional box breathing technique from our therapist at work.
- 4 secs in through the nose
- hold four secs
- 4 secs out through mouth
3 - 5 sets is a great grounding exercise.

Box breathing, I love it I do it all the time. The key is to breathe in and hold the breath in your stomach!!! Not your chest. While listening to your heartbeat.

It’s a method used in Yoga. It’s sometimes called victorious breathing…or Darth Vader breathing, lol. I highly recommend.
