Next time you find yourself in a heated discussion and you want to avoid slipping into a mode where things get said that are later regretted, take a deep breath. Focused breathing puts you in the present moment and keeps you grounded. It shifts you into a deeper awareness of the reality of what’s actually happening: Two people are temporarily forgetting the truth of who they are and are relating from the perspective of their egos. Breathe with conscious awareness. It’s the fastest path back…

To your real self.
