“Breathe slowly. Feel the air in your nostrils. The slow rise and fall of your abdamon. Notice your breath throughout the day. Notice when you feel stressed or anger and irritation. The body reacts by stopping and holding the breath. So just when you need your oxygen to get to your brain to make mindful decisions, you’re abandoned by your breath. So go slowly throughout your day. Stop to take a breath. Think about your words, your actions that you’re going to take. Be steady and calm, and you’ll make the right choices.
