I am not a fan of proselytizing, BUT a simple meditation every day is an effortless way to smooth the path you're walking down...

Heart Advice of the week:
THE PATH OF PAUSING
"The
primary focus of this path of choosing wisely, of this training to
de-escalate aggression, is learning to stay present. Pausing very
briefly, frequently throughout the day, is an almost effortless way to
do this. For just a few seconds we can be right here. Meditation is
another way to train in learning to stay, or, as one student put it more
accurately, learning to come back, to return to being present over and
over again. The truth is, anyone who’s ever tried meditation learns
really quickly that we are almost never fully present. I remember when I
was first given meditation instruction. It sounds so simple: Just sit
down, get comfortable, and bring light awareness to your breath. When
your mind wanders, gently come back and stay present with your breath. I
thought, “This will be easy.” Then someone hit a gong to begin and I
tried it. What I found was that I wasn’t present with a single breath
until they hit the gong again to end the session. I had spent the whole
time lost in thought."
From her book Taking The Leap
Thich Nhat Hanh
“Vous ne pouvez pas transmettre la sagesse et la vision profonde à une autre personne. La graine est déjà là. Un bon enseignant touche la graine, lui permet de s’éveiller, de germer et de grandir”
“You cannot transmit wisdom or insight to someone else – the seed is already there. A good teacher is someone who touches that seed so it can wake up, sprout and grow.”
