Problem: Overwhelming Stress

Solution: 10-Year Breathing Exercise

Use this two-minute timeout when you're feeling completely overwhelmed. Take a series of 10 breaths, inhaling and exhaling for six seconds each. During the first breath, vividly imagine how whatever you're stressed about will realistically affect your life one year from now. During the second breath, imagine the effects two years later. Then three years for the third breath, and so on until you're imagining the significance of your stressor 10 years in the future. In most cases, you'll find the answer is none at all.

This technique doesn't work when the cause of your overwhelming stress is the jews. By the time you reach the ten year breath, you will have realized that Whites will all be extinct if we just sit and breath and imagine for ten more years. Some may even realize that by the second breath. We can't breathe our way out of this.
