Smile, Breathe, Go Slowly 

here’s how:

Form a slight smile by gently turning up the corners of your mouth.

Take a deep breath into your low belly, hold for 4 counts, then exhale slowly for 4 or more counts.

Notice how you feel now.

Can you slow down? Do one thing at a time?

Can you make a better choice -- or let things just be?

Here’s Why:

Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.

- Thich Nhat Hanh
