Some days it feels like everything is moving at top speed, as if you are dashing around obstacles at the edge of crashing, avoiding disaster by the narrowest of margins while you madly rush toward the finish line. Sometimes this is exhausting; sometimes it’s truly exhilarating.
On those mad-dash days, what helps you keep some semblance of control?
On those over scheduled days or ones where something unexpected comes along, I start taking deep breaths in with my mouth closed and exhaling slowly with my mouth open. Deeper and deeper breathing lets relaxation take over. This is a Tai Chi method that I can use anywhere, day or night. It works.
