Doesn’t Take It To Heart
(My girlfriend tends to mumble, so I often only hear half of what she says, which leads to the occasional misunderstanding. This night, we’d had a couple beers each and I’m on my laptop when she stands in front of me.)
Girlfriend: “…you know I can slow my heart rate down?”
Me: “You mean, like, at will?”
Girlfriend: “Yeah.”
Me: “That’s pretty impressive. There’s gurus who strive decades for that.”
Girlfriend: “No, no; do you know HOW to slow down your heart rate?”
Me: “Oh. Is your heart racing?”
Girlfriend: “Yeah.”
Me: “Oh… s***! Okay, right, breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth…”
(I guided her through some basic meditation techniques, and she felt better in a few minutes.)
