Hello to you listening in Bordeaux, France!

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Time Out Tuesday and your host, Diane Wyzga.

Maybe like me you find yourself stuck in a line at the post office, the grocery story, the ferry terminal, or just everyday traffic red lights as far as the eye can see. 

You feel yourself growing increasingly impatient, chest clenches, heart rate ticks up, shoulders squeeze, lips tighten. 

No peace of mind to be had.

Practical Tip: You are not only the master of your fate - you are also the master of your mind. All it takes is a little practice. Try this: 

  • Breathe in slowly and mindfully saying to yourself, “This is my in-breath. I know I’m breathing in.” 
  • Pause for a moment and breathe out slowly and mindfully saying to yourself, “This is my out-breath. I know I’m breathing out.”  
  • After a few of these in-breaths and out-breaths (or maybe more than a few) you’ll feel yourself softening, your shoulders relax, your heart rate slows, your mind a bit more calm, peaceful, steady and ready to continue on your project, on your way.
  • Remember that this practice is available to you at any moment to restore and refresh. Guaranteed!
