I was changing my baby's diaper and was supposed to be in the car for an appointment 5 minutes ago! I felt stressed and noticed that my baby seemed to be holding her breath. Realizing I was influencing her I decided to take slower, more audible deep breaths to shift the mood and help her feel it was ok.
Guess what? After about three slow breaths I started to feel relaxed, I felt more peaceful, I enjoyed the moment of changing the diaper.
I didn't change my mind, I changed the motion of my body and this shifted my frantic mood. The breath put me in my body, in my heart, and opened my perspective to see that being a few minutes late wasn't going to ruin my life! My life was good!
I laughed at myself because I teach people about the importance of breathing and even I was surprised at the difference it made.
A true story to help encourage you to take some refreshing, slow breaths when you are worried and be pleasantly surprised by how the world changes!
