You may be making decisions with confidence and assurance today, which could be due to your sense of self-composure. Approaching problems in a collected and calm way might be difficult, but you could find that it allows you to focus on every aspect of a problem with equanimity. By bringing this sense of equanimity to your life, you may be more able to see a wider picture of what is going on. Should you be faced with a choice that is difficult today, you might first consider paying attention to your breath, letting it calm and relax you. As you breath, try to notice the things that surround you--your environment, the people, the issues. You might notice that with a continuing focus on your breath, you are able to more fully give everything your full attention and listen to others with a greater sense of openness and self-possession.

Confidence often comes from being calm, cool, and collected. There are times when we are called upon to make decisions when we automatically switch into a form of panic mode. Whenever this happens, we do not approach the situation carefully and with awareness, and we are never sure of what we ultimately decide. Our breath, however, has the power to help us. Through its constant and gentle rhythm we slow down and become more conscious of those around us and what we need to do. Using your breath as a tool to relax you today will make you feel secure about the decision you have to make.
