Pranayama

Tune in
It is to focus on the breath, and when you inhale, feel the cool air flow inhaled into our nose and chest, and the warm air flow exhaled. Attention always follows the airflow, aware that the inhaled airflow is cool, the exhaled airflow is warm, and carefully aware of the change in the temperature difference of the airflow.
In the process of breathing, there may be various distractions in the mind, if you find that your attention is taken away by distractions, or your mind is lost, you will be aware of what thoughts are, and then, gently but firmly, pull your attention back to the breath.

Ask
No matter how difficult and stressful things are, ask yourself three questions, what do I want? What should I do? What can I do? Then see if your answers are consistent, if the three answers are consistent, there will be inner harmony. Many things in life can apply this template.

I want and I should do it easier to answer. In the face of what I can do, we must first correctly assess our own ability, if I feel that my ability is limited and cannot do this, although it should be done, but it can be abandoned. Then three choices can be made based on what they can: change, accept, and leave.
For example, if you feel that your work is not going well and feel pressured, what can you do to change this status quo, if you can't change it, then you must learn to take the initiative to accept it, rather than endure it. If you can't do it, then leave, and giving up is also a relief.
