"Impermanence is the nature of life. Gratitude helps us catalog, celebrate, and rejoice in each day and each moment before they slip through the vanishing hourglass of experience."
~ the Dalai Lama

"It's very important that we re-learn the art of resting and relaxing. Not only does it help prevent the onset of many illnesses that develop through chronic tension and worrying; it allows us to clear our minds, focus, and find creative solutions to problems."
~ Thich Nhat Hanh

In a difficult moment, my ego wants to react with fight or flight – defensiveness, arguing, panic – which aren’t helpful. Within me lies a place of calm, and I can find it. I breathe deeply, willing myself to relax. With each soothing action, I move into the peaceful energy of my own inner wisdom. Quietly, I either say nothing or “Hmmm, let me think about it.” Much better!
