If you want to change your mental state, it is easier to do that by taking some physical action than by pure thinking. Want to feel calmer? Begin breathing slowly, with 4-second inhales and 6-second exhales. Want to pump yourself up? Put some Eminem on. (My favorites are Fall, Not Afraid, and Believe.) And so on.
When I read the article, I thought that this could also be applied to couples. When me and my husband feel that mutual understanding or communication in your relationship is going downhill, we could give tango a whirl together. It can help fill the void and make us feel like the communication is being restored:)
Great Article Vasili!
Thank you Faris!
This article reminded me of two principles that I use in my daily life:
1. If you want to change the world, start off by making your bed (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NudLfyl2cXc).
That's why I start my day by cleaning up my workplace.
2. Breath controls thoughts, thoughts control your mind, your mind controls your life (it's from some samurai stuff)
That's why I've been meditating for more than 6 years.
It might be useful for someone.
