To Tell or Not to Tail??  Is somebody getting hurt?  TELL -- Is something getting broken?  TELL -- If you answer these questions with a "no" . . . it's a tattle.  Can you TAIL the difference? #mrsbroamhats #hoppyeaster @phescougars

Pot of Gold #3

 

It's been one year. Rest and breathe. Take a moment to pause and reflect. S-l-o-w down and calm your monkey mind! Maybe take a magic carpet ride: "Let's Go on a Magic Carpet Ride!" https://youtu.be/WAAQg3GVsjQ (9:05) #takeadeepbreath #coronatimes #maketimeformentalflossing #mrsbroamhats

Pot of Gold #2

I MUSTACHE you a question?  When taking a deep breath, did you know a full exhale is as important as a deep inhale??! It begins a domino effect when your exhale comes up short. The incomplete exhale represents a partial contraction of the diaphragm which reduces the space in the chest.  Reduced space in the chest limits how much the lungs can expand.  Less expansion for the lungs results in less oxygen with each breath so more breaths are needed per minute to make up the difference, which can lead to hyperventilation! Don't get out a paper bag . . . but rather concentrate on breathing slow through the nose and low into the belly, allowing your shoulders and chest to relax. Focus on increasing your exhalation! Maybe even "sigh" it out as you empty the breath! I'd like to post more, but I MUSTACHE?! #dashingofftomaketheworldabetterplace #goforthegoldinsideofyou #takeadeepbreath #mrsbroamhats

Pot of Gold #1

 

Looking for the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow?🌈  YOU ALREADY HAVE IT!!  It's in your ability to breathe deeply.👃 I am learning about ways we breathe incorrectly to learn how to do it right.  Did you know many folks breathe with their chest, moving shoulders up and down?  They don't breathe deep into the belly, working their diaphragm.  This especially happens if you tend to hold your belly in!  Place your hands on your belly, relax it and move it with your next inhale. Then expand the sides of your body, lift your collar bones as you sip in more air.  Go for the GOLD inside of you with a good, deep breath. #mrsbroamhats #takeadeepbreath

This is the Way!

ZZZZ-ZAP!

 

ZZZZ-ZAP!  Zap negative and unhealthy thoughts! Use the "Zapper" button on your self-control remote control:  

ZAP -- "I will only be happy if everything happens the way I think it should."  👍 THINKING -- "I can be happy, even when things go wrong."

ZAP -- "If someone doesn't agree with me, they probably don't like me."  👍THINKING -- "Good friends disagree sometimes."

ZAP -- "If I blame things on other people, it will make me seem better."  👍 THINKING -- "If I take responsibility for my mistakes and say 'I'm sorry,' it will make me feel better about myself." #mrsbroamhats
