Laid-back

Definition: relaxed; easygoing; carefree

Quote: You cannot be laid back at any given time and think ‘you have made it.’ You need to have your head on your shoulders and have the right attitude. Your attitude is extremely important. — Vaani Kapoor (1988-) Indian actress

Comment: Newton was laid-back just enjoying his break when he was bonked on the noggin with an apple. The apple was not filled with magic. His epiphany arrived because he was a mathematician, physicist, astronomer, alchemist, theologian, author, and a natural philosopher. In other words, a thinker.

Suggestion: Sometimes you need to tell yourself to take a deep breath and chill out, to de-escalate the tension you are feeling. There are lots of ways to do this, pick a healthy technique.

How to Live This Quality Today: Lie back in a hammock, watch the clouds go by, and count your blessings.

Celebrated: International Women’s Day is on March 8th.
