Breathe

What is the first thing you need to do anytime you want to be centered or in the present moment?  BREATHE!  Nothing will bring you into the Now faster than paying attention to your breath.  All meditations start out by drawing your attention to your breath.  This simple act that we take for granted is so key not just to keep our body alive but also to help us be present. 

Anytime you want to calm yourself down, just breathe.  There is also power in breath.  It is a way to control and direct your energy flow as you learn in martial arts.  When you pay attention to your breath it also helps you focus.

Take some time today to appreciate the act of breathing and be thankful.  Every time you do you are growing your awareness.
