Do you feel already in a holiday mood? If not, put aside all your problems and other serious issues. Give yourself a break from your busy and speedy life. You deserve to relax and feel healthy and happy.

Yesterday I got an interesting email from a friend in San Francisco who wrote, “This guy is cool… worth watching! Have patience… it will drive you crazy as you try to imagine what he is painting. Hope it works for you.” So, I did just that and watched the video. I included it in my post for you to watch, too.

Be patient and breathe deeply. Master the art of breathing serenely. Since you are continuously breathing the entire day, you don’t realize that this is the most powerful and effective tool for creating the peaceful feelings that are conducive for patience. As soon as you begin to feel impatient, let the feelings you experience be the start of your focusing on the gift of oxygen. As you exhale, feel all stress and tension leaving. As you inhale, feel the fresh oxygen traveling from head to toe relaxing every muscle and every cell in your entire body.

As you breathe, repeat the word, “Patience.” Say it with gentle and soothing patience. As your brain is conditioned to associate slow breathing with patience, the very act of breathing slowly will continuously enable you to be more patient.

Now you are ready to watch the video with Dan Dunn’s PaintJam magic.
