Slow down. Breathe. Feed it well. Move it regularly. Take care of it while I on this earthly planet and it will provide me with what I need. Treat it poorly and it will let me know. Overall, love it like you would another.

When a situation requires patience and it seems that I am lacking in patience, a deep breathe in and out helps calm the nerves. A second deep breathe in and out allows me to calm my heart. A third one in and out calms my mind. A fourth allows me to clear the chaos. Finally on the fifth slow breathe in and out, my mind and body are ready to respond patiently and to make better decisions.

By breathing in gratitude I am able to stay connected to my essence and express thanks for my body. This reminds me that my body is here only for a short while but my being and essence is forever and how I interact can impact the legacy I leave behind.
