My center and everyone's center is always center, so we regain it only in the sense of refinding it and refocusing on it. I usually close my eyes, breathe deeply, and sit calmly in a quiet space, all of which help me look inward and go to my center. What I just described helps me reduce time I spend in anguish. When younger, I was more angry and expressed it easily and too much. I've come to see anger as an unnecessary emotion -- I can disagree, object, be active, assertive, firm, and take positive action without anger. The anger actually get in the way of my expressing well and my being listened to. Now I see complaining also as unnecessary. I only sometimes live up to all I am writing here, but it is a guiding light for me.
