you pick up your child from daycare or school. Before you get home from work. Before your family members get home from work/school while you are already there.
Breathe in, inhale
Together, long inhale into your belly and your back.
Breathe out, exhale
Slow, long exhale, letting the day's stress slowly dissipate
Check-in
How are you feeling? What emotions are there? How's your monkey mind?
Decide
How do you want the evening to go? Should your entourage be impacted by your day?
Adapt
An option is to put yourself in a state of being centered, open, aware, connected and welcoming. I leave my day behind and welcome my loved ones with an open heart
Result?
Most likely, a higher probability of having a pleasant evening. Let emotions traverse you, not become you.
