Sounds about right

“Before I was six years old, my grandparents and my mother had taught me that if all the green things that grow were taken from the earth, there could be no life. If all the four-legged creatures were taken from the earth, there could be no life. If all the winged creatures were taken from the earth, there could be no life. If all our relatives who crawl and swim and live within the earth were taken away, there could be no life. But if all the human beings were taken away, life on earth would flourish. That is how insignificant we are.”
Russell Means, Oglala Lakota Nation (November 10, 1939 – October 22, 2012)

“ Box breathing “

Lowers stress
The biggest benefit of box breathing is relaxation, especially in times of stress. Studies show that regulating your breath can lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol and maybe even help lower blood pressure.

Activates the parasympathetic nervous system
In times of stress, your sympathetic nervous system is on high alert. Box breathing can help you move out of that state by tapping into the bodily system responsible for rest and digestion — the parasympathetic nervous system. The parasympathetic nervous system is the opposite of the sympathetic nervous system, otherwise known as “fight or flight.”
“When we’re anxious, we breathe shallowly and quickly, which actually creates more anxiety within your body,” Dr. Young explains. “We can use breathwork to move out of the fight-or-flight state and into that parasympathetic nervous system.”

How Box Breathing Can Help You Destress If you’ve ever felt anxious or overwhelmed, some well-intentioned person has probably told you, “Just breathe.” When you’re in the midst of a stressful moment, though, that can be much easier said than done. The box breathing technique, a simple but powerful method of focusing on your breath...

See the difference?

Jackie Chan is saying, “May riches and honor bloom (literally, “flowers open”), and may you have the spirit of a Dragon-Horse.” This is a good New Year’s wish that people in Hong Kong like to say!

Huā kāi fù guì, lóng mǎ jīng-shén!
花开富贵，龙马精神！

If you have the spirit of a Dragon-Horse, it means you are no longer a spring chicken, but are still full of vitality!

I’m proud of the campaign we’ve been running, and I hope you are too. I made a promise when we started that we were not going to be spending our time getting into petty mudslinging or running AGAINST anyone - we were going to choose to run FOR something. We’ve been out talking 1-on-1 with Novi residents for months and asking them what they care about and what they want from their local elected officials. Because of you, we’re running on a vision of:

💡Stronger utilities and no more power outages on sunny days by working together with our regional partners
🚒 Ensuring no fire station goes without staffing in our city
🚜 Making sure new developments are not overburdening our residents and infrastructure
📚 Fully funding our public library
🌳 Protecting our history and preserving our future
👨‍👨‍👧‍👦 Building a Novi which creates a seat at the table for all of our residents to have a say.

Because of you, we’re writing a positive future for our city - together - and I couldn’t be more excited.

Between now and Election Day, we’re asking you to proudly show off your support of our campaign by hosting a yard sign for myself and my team so we can continue to build the momentum we’ve been gaining in every corner of Novi. Visit www.aaronfornovi.com/signs to request yours today!
