Isn't it funny how our calendars fill up like crazy during the holidays?  It's not even Thanksgiving yet and the season is already in full swing, which for me provokes a great deal of anxiety.  Already on our calendar are attending family dinners and parties, jazz concerts, the NYC Ballet's performance of The Nutcracker, and this year Joe and I are looking to move apartments in December too.  With what feels like a suffocating calendar full of fun events, the only way I can truly enjoy the season is by focusing on the moment and calming my anxiety.  Here's a easy breathing meditation that I incorporate into my day.  Hope it helps you, too!
