In the past, i have identified as a person who has strong emotional reactions.

While i want to honor my feelings, i have a goal to be more peaceful in my life. I think this has the potential to make my environment calmer and facilitate connections with my family and community. To this end, i have seriously put some attention to my breath; remembering to breathe deeply in times of stress as well as just breathing in general. I literally practice breathing. I've asked my loved ones to remind me to breathe (and i remind them). Multiple times a day i spend time focusing on breathing throughout my whole body, filling my lungs up all the way. It feels good; it's a self reinforcing practice.
