When you breathe, you are alive . . . and because you are alive, anything is possible.

We all have hard days sometimes—filled with icky feelings like anger, fear, loneliness, or a bad case of the blues. Breathe along with this interactive story to discover the one easy thing you’re already doing that has the power to turn those days around. Peace is closer than you think!
