Repeat this mantra to yourself whenever you re feeling anxious: "I flow from a place of grace."

Peace. Gratitude. Concentration. Stillness. Serenity. Composure. Focus.

Whether they re honing their powers of concentration (have you ever seen anyone focus on something so intently as a mutt with a bone?), being in the moment (a snooze is so much more satisfying when you really appreciate the snooze), or taking time to explore their senses (all those bottoms aren t going to sniff themselves), dogs are paragons of mindfulness. So maybe they re not always quite as composed or graceful as they d like, but at least they re trying and we could all learn a lot from these enlightened pups.
