Breath in, Breath Out, Move on....

I heard a great CD this weekend while at my parents. The CD was one of Jimmy Buffett's. I'm a huge fan of Jimmy Buffetts as I have seen him in concert a couple of times and I'm envious of his carefree island lifestyle. His songs are infectious and they make you want to head to paradise island.

So the 3rd or 4th song on this CD was titled "Breath In, Breath Out, Move On." I thought catchy phrase with a profound meaning. As you would imagine, the message is "stuff happens, breath in, breath out, and move on." I thought wow, that's what I need to practice. For those who know me, I have a tendency to react to things that are out of my control, and I also stress out about things that I have little to no control over. So instead of getting all worked up unnecessarily, I will practice the words on Jimmy Buffett. Who would think I would be looking to Jimmy Buffett for guidance in stress relief. Jimmy doesn't appear stressed in the least.

So here's how it will work, when I find myself getting worked up I will walk away and take a deep breath in and blow it out stating, move on. I will let you know how it goes.

Enjoy your view....
Breath in, Breath Out and Move On!!!
