Suppose you’re feeling a bit overwhelmed and in need of some relaxation.

I have learned in my life that the higher my expectations are, the lower my serenity. On the other hand, when my expectations are lower, my serenity is usually higher! Bottom line, I discovered that my expectations in any situation are directly proportional to my serenity. In other words, the more I expect in general, the less peace I experience.

Next time someone angers or frustrates you, take a deep breath and hold it for 3-5 seconds while you ask God to give you the strength and wisdom to overcome whatever upsets you. As you do this, you will feel better physically, emotionally, and spiritually. This will help you learn how to relax. You can try it now to understand what I’m saying.

Be patient. Patience is the key to peace. Impatience is the source of agitation and irritation.

Practicing simple deep-breathing and relaxation techniques is an excellent way to learn to relax and feel calm, both physically and emotionally.
