Yesterday, I told a friend, it took a cupcake to settle down. If truth be told, two were required to pull mind and body back out of the trenches. It was one of those days, not to be repeated for a while I hope. That might give me enough time to recall what it is I know about stress reduction, mindfulness, and keeping balanced.
That was yesterday; today swimming seemed the better approach. So, I’m back to breathing: long, slow deep steady.
Take time for yourself, gather internal resources. Cupcakes offer something fun, satisfying, but they are just gone in a second.
Keep breathing.
