“Breathing in, I calm body and mind. Breathing out, I smile. Dwelling in the present moment I know this is the only moment.”
— Thich Nhat Hanh

Simplified Meaning:
Taking a deep breath helps you relax both your body and your thoughts. When you breathe out, letting go of your breath while smiling can make you feel better. Paying attention to what is happening right now, instead of worrying about the past or future, is important because the present moment is all we really have. Imagine you're stressed about an upcoming test; instead of worrying, try taking a few deep breaths and focus on what you can do right now, like reviewing notes. By doing this, you're more likely to feel calm and do better because you're not distracted by stress. This way of thinking can help you feel more peaceful and present in your daily life.
