Control how you react 

Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh was asked, “Aren’t you worried about the state of the world?”

“I allowed my self to breathe,” he answered. “And then I said, ‘What is most important is not to allow your anxiety about what happens in the world to fill your heart. If your heart is filled with anxiety, you will get sick and you will not be able to help.'”

To that end, I want to offer you a short, impactful practice – just five minutes long – that can pull you out of a bad feeling place.  

Yes, we can’t always control what happens to us. But we can control how we respond to it, how we react to it and what we do from there on out. And that’s a lot of power and that’s a lot of control actually. 

So I invite you to engage with this short, potent practice that includes a self-care breath and grounding mudra.

Do it any time you feel the call, and it will be good medicine. I promise. 

With Love,

Becca
