PAST EDITOR'S MESSAGE | WINTER 2006Camille Mayorga, DRT
Everyday we are faced with obstacles. Most of these obstacles are minor glitches that keep our day from running as smoothly, and peacefully, as we would like. How about when we finish writing the long and detailed email message and when we press send it gets lost in never-land and we must begin again. Or when we turn off on our exit only to find traffic backed up and we are already running late, or the coffee filter falls in and ruins the fresh pot of coffee, and we have to start all over, these situations tend to make us feel stressed and anxious. But these events are daily episodes that should not raise our heart rate if we can just take them in?stride and make the best of the situation.?We cannot control these daily-annoying obstacles; the only thing we can control is how they make us feel, and how they change our disposition for that time and perhaps the rest of the day.?I think the Master Yogi's really are on to something with the deep cleansing breath. At these critical stressful moments, stop and take a deep breath in and out and let it go...
"Any fact facing us is not as important as our attitude toward it, for that determines our success or failure" ~Norman Vincent Peale~ |
