Pause
Take a moment to step out of the auto pilot “doing mode” 
to gratefully bring awareness to the sensations of 
your next three breaths

"We often feel our emotions, both positive and negative, in our bodies. The next time you feel good, notice how this manifests physically. Does your body feel relaxed? Is there warmth in your chest, or a slight smile across your face? Becoming aware of positive emotions allows us to broaden our momentary perspective and spark positive reactions, like the urge to savor and appreciate beautiful scenery or the impulse to play. Inevitably this builds greater personal resources." 

-Elisha Goldstein and Stefanie Goldstein
