60 Seconds for Time Out Tuesday: 5 Breaths to Feel Calm and Energized.

<p>Hello to you listening in <a href="https://www.neworleans.com/">New Orleans, Louisiana</a>!</p><p>Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is 60 Seconds, your daily dose of hope, imagination, wisdom, stories, practical tips, and general riffing on this and that.</p><p>My friend and business authentic <a href="https://storydialogue.com/">Story Dialogue colleague Dr. Carmel Finnan</a> in Berlin, Germany shared a life-saving breathing practice with me and I want to share it with you for the benefits you will receive.</p><p>Before you start an activity take 5 slow, deep breaths. Before you get out of bed, drink your coffee or tea, leave your house, go to your computer, and so on; throughout the day take 5 slow, deep breaths. In this way you will gradually begin to slow down, take stock, make better decisions, feel free-er, shift your life from hectic to calm but energized. And more.</p><p>Taking a breath is the first act of life and the last. In between those 2 moments taking 5 slow, deep breaths before any activity will help slow us down, appreciate, and live fully as the Creator intended.  </p><p><i>This is the place to thrive together.
