When I watch football players take penalties (I like football), they take several deep breaths so as to control their body and emotions. It's just an example of what we can do in our lives before any stressful moment. Often we can't predict when a stressful moment will come in our days so it is up to us to take several small pauses each day to close our eyes, get connected to our bodies and our feelings/stresses so that when compounding stresses arrive (triggers) we are already "destressed" from the other tentions we had in our bodies and minds beforehand. What do you think? How do you do this?

I just did this and here is what happened: It took about 30 seconds to find the emotion...I feel busy and not focussed. It took about 60 seconds to NOT jump to the wise mind, but to see what the rational mind was saying. Rational mind said you are not organized and you are just responding to outside stimulii. Then Wise mind said (in 20 seconds), stop what you are doing, look at your life purpose and priority and pick 1-2 things that are most helpful to move you towards your purpose now. That is the real example of what I just did. I hope it helps others. PS, we need to know our true purpose. That's another conversation of how to find that.
