How there can be a place
so cold any movement saves you.
-Naomi Shihab Nye
Pause.
Take three deep breaths with a six-count inhale and a six-count exhale.
Practice.
Set a timer for five minutes and journal or take notes on anything that comes to mind. Or sit in silence. Sitting in silence is always a nice option.
