Breathing helps in stressful situations

As you move forward, take risks, and follow your calling: you will meet obstacles. Obstacles are part of the path.

The primary obstacles are within. They are the limiting thoughts that you can't see but through which you see the world. The closer you are to and more identified you are with a thought the more it limits what you can think, feel, and do.

How can you free yourself from limiting thoughts?  One simple way is to change your breathing pattern.
Every thought pattern is associated with a signature breath pattern. Fearful thoughts are supported and sustained by a fearful breath pattern. The same with creative thoughts.

So, what breath pattern should you use? A mindful, slow, deep breath pattern dissolves limiting thoughts.
When you are open, aware, and connected to your creative resources, your breath will be slow, deep, and full. By mindfully simulating such a breathing pattern, you bring your neurology into a resourceful and creative state.

So, if you find your mind blocked by limiting thoughts, exercise leadership . . . breathe.
