We are on week 32 of the year and I for one am really excited about the weather. Even though the summer has hit us and is not slowing down, the Washington clouds seem to never leave us alone. While this may seem like a dark moody situation, I find myself really stopping my feet and taking a deep breath through my nostrils, taking in these enchanting breaks while I can.

I find that when life is heading too much in certain extremes, PAUSE! a little bit of feeling the good things around you and taking a deep nose breath keeps you energized to go ahead and continue the day. As a highly anxious person, I've always felt that time goes a little too fast when I don't want it to, and this has been my best antidote so far. We call it "making a core memory", and it helps the brain truly live in the present by remembering more out of the day than usual and therefore feel like I have "lived more" if that makes sense.

I hope this helps when you are feeling like life is too much!
