Take a Deep Breath

Ever have one of those days? You know, one of those days that is full of set backs or disappointments? Yes, I know that  I have told you to look for the opportunities in adversity but I also want you to understand that when these things happen you have choices even when you don’t see any silver linings.

In every situation you have a choice between responding and reacting. Reacting is primal and has no thought behind it. Responding requires thought separated from emotion so you may need to take a deep breath or two or maybe even several while you think it through.

What does taking a deep breath do for you? It gives you a pause that allows that inner voice to be heard, that one that you should listen to more often, that one that knows that every thing will work out exactly the way it is supposed to.  The one that knows the answer to every question ever asked if you just listen. Call it intuition, call it spirit, call it divine guidance-it doesn’t matter-that part of you will bring you peace and harmony if you just take a deep breath and listen for it.
