Ah, the breath—our backstage pass to sanity. When the circus starts wobbling, just pause, inhale through the nose for a count of four, hold for two, exhale through the mouth for six. That slow rhythm is like a drumbeat that keeps the clowns in line. Try it before a meeting, a deadline, or even while your cat decides your coffee is a perfect snack spot. One deep breath, and you’ve got the show back on cue. Keep that pocket of calm handy, and you’ll never let the chaos steal the spotlight.
