Does Quarky have to change his breathing to feel calm?

The story

Quarky discovers he does not need to change his breathing to feel calmer. Just noticing it is enough. He listens to his breath like it is a tiny quiet song, in and out, without bossing it around.

  • You do not have to breathe in a special way, you can just listen.
  • Your breath makes a tiny quiet song all day long.
  • Calm takeaway: your breath is always there to listen to.
  • Quarky takeaway: you do not have to fix everything, sometimes just noticing is enough.
