“I love breathing because it’s such an effective way of getting you from a sympathetic stressed state to a parasympathetic rested state in terms of your autonomic nervous system.”

“You can’t be grateful and anxious at the same time. You can’t be grateful and angry at the same time. You can’t be grateful but depressed at the same time.”
