“When localized areas of high-pressure air meet low-pressure air they can spawn a whirlwind that sucks up dirt and trash and moves across the landscape spreading disorder and destruction.
“When your high-pressure lifestyle meets a low ebb in your energy level, together they can stir up an emotional whirlwind that makes everything you value – your loved ones, your work, your hopes and dreams – seem like debris swirling around you.
“Before you take off across your emotional landscape spreading disorder and destruction, take a moment to relax and center yourself. When your life seems like a whirlwind, the image of the calm center is important. At the exact center of a whirlwind, there is a spot of perfectly calm air.”

I love this image! Life often seems like a whirlwind and we forget that WE are at the exact center of that whirlwind. Pause. Breathe. Let go and relax, if only for a moment. Put yourself fully in that moment, letting go of past and future, regrets and worries, and just BE in that calm moment in the middle of the whirlwind of your life. Love yourself in that moment. All of the moments after that will be influenced by your moment of calm!
