Exhale First

My Counselling and Communication professor taught us this trick a few weeks ago that I've shared with a few people this week. If you are stressed and need to pause to breathe, EXHALE FIRST, then breathe in. By exhaling and emptying your lungs, your lungs are then forced to take a very deep breath in. It works better. Trust me.

And since I'm in the library, doing some deep breathing myself, I've also been pondering some good verses. I know people are crazy busy with school and life right now, so remember this:

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden in light.
-Matthew 11:28-30
