You may have conversations with those close to you that may be stimulating but could be unpredictably charged. Debating with others can excite you and maybe even cause you to burst with new and unusual ideas, but you might notice a frenetic aspect to your discussions. Breathing while interacting with others can keep you grounded and centered; being aware of this during your conversations could help your communications today. Should you notice that you start to get excited while speaking, you may want to take a few seconds to plant your feet firmly into the ground, feeling your connection to the earth. You can then take a few abdominal breaths, using this to quiet your mind enough to remain calm and steady during your discussions. By breathing and becoming grounded, you might notice that while your conversations may be infused with passion, they may not have the volatility that comes from speaking without awareness.

Making the effort to breathe and become centered during our interactions with others makes our conversations stimulating but not brash. When we are excited by an event or idea, it is easy for us to get carried away with our emotions, for our passions can sometimes override our sense of what is appropriate in an interaction. Grounding ourselves allows us to speak with enthusiasm, keep other people's opinions and feelings in mind, and make our interactions healthier and more stimulating. As you breathe and become aware of the people around you and their feelings in your interactions today, you will speak with greater conscientiousness.
