Practice deep breathing to center yourself in the now from "summary" of The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle
When you find yourself being overwhelmed by thoughts and emotions, it can be helpful to bring your attention back to the present moment. One way to do this is through deep breathing. By focusing on your breath as it enters and leaves your body, you can anchor yourself in the now. Deep breathing can help you become more aware of the sensations in your body and quiet the constant chatter of your mind. As you take slow, deliberate breaths, you can start to feel a sense of calm washing over you. This calmness can help you let go of worries about the past or anxieties about the future, allowing you to fully experience the present moment. When you practice deep breathing, you are not only centering yourself in the now, but you are also connecting with your inner being. By tuning into your breath, you are tuning into the essence of who you are beyond your thoughts and emotions. This connection can bring a sense of peace and clarity that transcends the challenges of daily life. Deep breathing is a simple yet powerful tool that can be used anytime, anywhere. Whether you are feeling stressed at work, anxious in a social situation, or simply needing a moment of relaxation, taking a few deep breaths can help you find your center and return to the present moment. By making deep breathing a regular practice, you can cultivate a greater sense of presence and mindfulness in your everyday life.
