Whatever you encounter today take a moment to breathe and smile before responding. If it is something amazing that will happen to you, then taking a moment to let it sink in allows you to fully appreciate it. If it is something unpleasant that you are dealing with, then this pause lets you reason rather than react emotionally.
The ten seconds it takes for a full in-breath and out-breath changes the moment, neutralizing any extreme emotion. These ten seconds can not only change the moment, they can change your day and the outcome of any situation. Smile, breathe...(in) ten, nine, eight, seven, six, (out) five, four, three, two...peace.
Breathe in, breath out...
