If you can control your breath
you can control your mind—and the world around you. 🌍

Our breathing patterns are directly influenced by our emotions and thoughts. 💭

But when you shift your focus from emotions or thoughts to your breath,
a new world begins to unfold. 🌬️✨

When you are in control of your breath,
you hold the key to managing your emotions wisely. 🔑🧘

Don’t make the mistake of constantly pointing out others’ mistakes. Mistakes happen all the time. To correct them, you need both authority and love.

Whenever there is a problem, we either deny it saying there is no problem or we sit to solve the problem and make it a big issue. Neither of these help. A problem does not disappear when you deny it. And it does not get solved when you sit to solve it.

The five steps to solve a problem are:

Acknowledge the problem—it is there.
See it as a small problem, and do not say it is big.
If it concerns people, keep in touch with them instead of avoiding them.
Talk less and give time a chance.
Get together and celebrate.

☀️☀️☀️☀️

Chaque fois qu‘il y a un problème, soit nous le nions en disant qu’il n‘y a pas de problème, soit nous nous asseyons pour résoudre le problème et en faire une grande question. Ni l‘un ni l’autre ne vous aideront. Un problème ne disparaît pas lorsque vous le niez et il n’est pas résolu lorsque vous vous asseyez pour le résoudre.

Les cinq étapes pour résoudre un problème sont les suivantes:

Reconnaissez le problème.
Considérez-le comme un petit et non comme un gros problème.
Si le problème concerne des personnes , restez en contact avec elles au lieu de les éviter.
Parlez moins et donnez sa chance au temps.
Réunissez-vous et célébrez.
