And so you can't always change the stressors
in our life, the job that we have,
the relationships, the commute.
But what we can do, with just a little bit
of relaxing and relieving stress for little moments in our day
by just doing a little-- a one minute breathing meditation
just to kind of get back to drop that anchor inside ourselves.
Then we have this buffer.
So I call the sacred pause.
So noticing the trigger coming in real time
and then having a--
I usually start my day with an affirmation that's there to--
to reinvent my intention for the day.
And with the breathing, I can drop that anchor so that I'm
choosing how do I want to proceed in this moment,
instead of just feeling that I'm reacting
to everything around me, which feels very disempowering.
Things are happening on the outside to me.
It's that I keep that anchor inside
so that I am at the helm.
And my heart is really at the helm
so that I can make compassionate and intentional
choices as best I can, right.
It's a practice.
