It can be tough being an adult. Aside from having to earn one’s keep, one also has to take care of the bills like keeping the car maintained and keeping up with the mortgage payments. And that’s only the financial part.
There are also emotional and social responsibilities like managing the family and making sure one gets along with one’s co-workers and neighbors. Those types of responsibilities may not be as tangible as money but are just as important if one wants to call oneself a “responsible” adult.
It’s almost enough to want to become a kid again, to a time when all you worried about was what game you’re going to play and what you want to eat on the weekend. But since that’s not possible, it’s no surprise that the daily grind of life can leave some people high-strung and ready to snap at the most minor provocation.
It’s no wonder that mind-body health programs have become such a hit and these include things like yoga and guided meditation.point 218 |
Even taking a walk surrounded by nature has been shown to help relax the mind and leave you recharged enough to face the day ahead.point 107 | If you have the funds and the time to take a yoga class or do meditation, they are well worth the effort.point 191 | 1
Sometimes though, all you need is just a little piece of advice to set you straight. And the universe can send the advice in the most surprising ways.
In the video is a young girl named Willow. In fact, she’s so young that she still needs a child safety seat at the back of the car. But her words of wisdom are profound enough to floor anyone who’s paying attention.
Willow’s dad, who’s driving, asks her to “tell him.” And looking pretty relaxed herself just leaning back on her chair and wearing neato sunglasses, she tells her father to “have a deep breath, just calm down, and relaaaaax!” She adds that this advice is very helpful “when you get mad.”
We can only assume that her dad must have been grumpy earlier which is what prompted the conversation that was caught on video. And whether or not Willow had been coached by her mom for just this situation, the fact that she knows how and when to say it speaks volumes about this child.
There are times that the innocent wisdom of children can leave us taken aback but they are also one of the best reminders that life does just go a bit easier if we learned to breathe deeply and relax!
