Remember to Breathe

During all the prep for the wedding, the dark cloud of stress tried to visit.  

Someone told me...

Just remember to breathe.

I take that advice to heart and suggest if you ever feel anxiety or stress slipping into your veins take a moment. 

I do a little thing I call the 4 by 4. I stand tall facing the north. I raise my arms while taking a deep breath to 4 counts. With my arms up, I stretch, and hold my breath for 4 counts. Exhale while lowering my arms. Breathing in good air, pushing out the bad. 

I turn and face the east, repeat. Breath in for count if 4. Stretch to the count of 4.

Turn and face each direction. During this time think beyond your vision, think of the wonderful world. Count your blessings.
