Box breathing is a technique used in taking slow, deep breaths. This can heighten performance and concentration while also being a powerful stress reliever.
This Navy SEAL breathing technique, aka box breathing or tactical breathing, is used to calm yourself down, a simple 4 second rotation of breathing in, holding, breathing out, holding. A perfect visual meditation for when you can’t listen to audio, or just need a quick second to refocus. Use this image to help you keep time! :) Here are the directions:
That’s it! Repeat for as many times as you need to calm down. |

The Battling Boys Of Benghazi
A short poem you won’t forget.
Do you recall Obama referring to the Benghazi incident as “a bump in the road?”
Today, I heard an ex-Navy Seal being interviewed on Fox News regarding a book he has written about how to handle crisis situations in our lives .
At the end of the interview he asked if he could make a comment on Benghazi, and of course the anchor said “yes.”
He then thanked Fox News for keeping the Benghazi story in the news, since other news organizations are not.
He said the Seals who died deserve the public knowing the truth about the whole affair.
The poem was written by an anonymous Marine Corps officer:
“THE BATTLING BOYS OF BENGHAZI”
We’re the battling boys of Benghazi,
No fame, no glory, no paparazzi.
Just a fiery death in a blazing hell,
Defending our country we loved so well.
It wasn’t our job, but we answered the call,
fought to the Consulate and scaled the wall.
We pulled twenty countrymen from the jaws of fate
Led them to safety and stood at the gate.
Just the two of us and foes by the score,
But we stood fast to bar the door.
Three calls for reinforcement, but all were denied,
So we fought and we fought and we fought
’til we died.
We gave our all for our Uncle Sam,
But Barack and Hillary didn’t give a damn.
Just two dead Seals who carried the load
No thanks to us…we were just
“Bumps In The Road”.
So, will this reach every American with a computer? Or do we act like the press and give a pass to the people who literally sat there in the White House and watched the Seals’ execution on live streaming video and did absolutely nothing?
The Obama Administration obviously won’t be held accountable because they apparently accept Hilary Clinton’s assessment, “What difference does it make?”
And she wants to be the next President?
Pray she is not!”
Texas Governor Declares “Chris Kyle Day”
God Bless the Great State of TEXAS!
Texas Governor Greg Abbott declared February 2nd to be “Chris Kyle Day” to honor the Texan who became known the most lethal sniper in American history. Kyle was also recently immortalized in the blockbuster film “American Sniper.”
Kyle was credited with 150 sniper kills during his four tours of duty in Iraq as a Navy Seal. He was tragically shot and killed on February 2, 2013, while trying to help a fellow veteran who was allegedly suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.
Taya Kyle, the widow of Chris Kyle, was recently honored by the organization AmericanSnipers.org with a donation of $62,000. According to a Breitbart News article by AWR Hawkins, the group raised the money by raffling a McMillan .338 Lapua sniper rifle. She also recently made news by shooting an antelope on a hunting trip taken to honor her late husband.
After his death, Kyle was honored with a memorial service in the Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The service along with the miles-long funeral procession were also featured in the movie honoring Kyle.
During that service, then Governor Rick Perry said, “Chris Kyle was the public face of an anonymous breed of American warrior who are handed the hardest missions and assume the largest risks,” Former Governor Rick Perry said. “Chris was among the very best at what he did, and he saved countless American lives in the process. Our state and our nation suffered a profound loss with his passing. I am honored to have known Chris and to have called him my friend. Anita and I send our deepest condolences to his wife, Taya, his children and the thousands of service members that were his extended family.”
Poster Of The Day: The Irony Of America
Filmmaker Michael Moore got called out by a real American sniper on Monday after he claimed snipers are “cowards” and “aren’t heroes.”
Retired U.S. Army Sgt. Nick Irving told Elisabeth Hasselbeck that Moore didn’t deserve a response from him, but he offered one anyway.
“I don’t think he deserves the breath that I’m about to give,” he said. “But I’ll just say, Michael Moore, he wasn’t there in Afghanistan and last time I checked he’s never shot anybody with a scoped rifle. So I don’t think he deserves the breath that comes out of me right now.”
