Take a breath!
Take a breath! Just stop, and take a pause. Life is not running away, people. Whoever you’re arguing with that you can’t take a pause, is definitely not worth arguing with at all. When you feel overwhelmed and your mind feels jumbled, take a breath! Just a few minutes of silence will go a long way.
When the anger feels like it's bubbling over, about to make you do something you might regret, then take a breath! In that moment of breathing, we seize control of ourselves back from any influences that were working on us.
We really should have shirts that say ‘take a breath’, because it’s a saying so valuable, but one we often don’t remember. Whenever you don’t feel like you’re in control of yourself or overwhelmed, remember Alex’s slogan: Take. A. Breath!
