Kimberly Wilson, dear to my heart as the Hip Tranquil Chick, and her boyfriend took a cross-country road trip in their vintage camper this fall, holding Tranquility Popups everywhere from Richmond to Portland. The saga was covered on her wonderful blog and podcast Tranquility du Jour. I learned two things that are helpful to my journey.
1. Don't get a vintage camper, no matter how cute.
2. Use the STOP tranquility technique. I've altered it to fit my Christian approach to mindfulness. When confronted with a problem or a tense moment, STOP:
- Stop
- Take three breaths. Three counts in, four counts to hold and five counts to exhale.
- Observe with love.
- Pray, put on the mind of Christ and proceed under grace.
I like it. Thanks, Kimberly.
