Four Slow Breaths at the Door

Before you open the front door, stop for a moment. Four slow breaths, nothing more. Let the day's noise drop off outside, so you walk in as yourselves, not as whoever work made you. Try it with your partner too, side by side at the door, breathing before the hellos. It takes ten seconds and the whole evening feels different — softer, more like the start you wanted.
