How can a busy person calm themselves quickly?
I learned this tip at the top of a trapeze platform in Baltimore, MD (my friend Kate thinks it's FUN to take her visiting friends trapeze flying). Do as the trapeze instructor directed me as
I tried to find "calm" on top of a 30 foot platform.
Take a DEEP breath in. Hold it for a count of four. Practice now. INHALE... 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 ....and as you EXHALE drop your shoulders. Then repeat this three to five times.
What this simple exercise does is allow you to
reconnect with your breath. The more connected we are to our breath, the calmer we are.

It doesn’t take much time at all but somehow we need to give ourselves permission to take those 10 seconds…
Thanks for the reminder!

PS my daughter LOVES “flying”…I think she’s out of her mind but maybe I need to try it seems you can get lots of great lessons high up on the rig.
