“Sometimes the best thing you can do is not think, not wonder, not imagine, not obsess, just breathe and have faith that everything will work out for the best.” – www.dailyinspirationalquotes.in

My mum told me last night to have a chamomile tea to relax myself.

I know it’s meant to help, but what won’t help is the need for me to rush to the toilet in the middle of the night, ruining the full night’s sleep that I hoped to get! Especially after the last few nights!

And so I did what my Pops always tells me to do.

Sit back, empty your mind and breathe.

Inhale through the mouth, and exhale completely, slowly. If you wish to make it a meditation, you can chant something that calms you. Breathe in this way for 5-10 minutes and empty your mind of everything else. Concentrate on the breath entering and leaving your body. The vibrations of the chant will sooth your brain.

Many people automatically use the word “Om”.

We say, “Waheguru”.

And so before bed, that is what I did.

I have woken up fresh, ready to handle the dreaded observation today. I know what my capabilities are. I can only hope my team are on side and able to support me and the children in the way I really would like them to. It’s all in the hands of ‘Them’ now!

Who knows when I get my feedback. but I’l be glad when this afternoon is over, I can tell you that!!!

Thanks for all the good wishes though, your words have given me more confidence!

Luck and Love Peeps!

    And now it is done! Ommmm….
    I agree! Great advice, sis! The more we feel under pressure from whatever the more we need to distance our mind from it and that can only happen when we empty it as much as possible. Inhaling power, light, strength, confidence consciously while breathing all out what burdens us has an amazing effect!

    You have a smart Dad! Always listen to him! He may not always be right, but he will always be worth listening to! 🙂 🙂

    Thank you Ritu! I need this reminder today…and now I know what “Om” means…I thought it was just a meaningless sound. ☺
