Zen Mind Tricks

Master the moment with these easy techniques

The Scenario
You’ve been out running errands; he’s been home practicing lay-ups.

The Solution
“Walk yourself into the closet, bedroom, or bathroom and take your shoes off. Concentrate on your feet feeling the floor and stand in Tadasana (Mountain pose) for 10 breaths,” Paolillo says. When you are done you might still be angry but your reaction can be constructive. Approach your man and say firmly but calmly, “I know you had a busy day too but this is a partnership, so let’s talk about why the boxes are still in the living room.”  Discuss what went wrong rather than create a combative situation.
