    1. respite
      1. a short period of rest or relief from something difficult or unpleasant.
    2. In times of crisis, pace comes to my aid.

      I like and relate to this line. Whenever I feel overwhelmed I find when I pace myself I become calmer and the situation becomes easier to handle.

    3. When I was 19, I learned something called the “rest step” from an old mountain climber named Paul Petzoldt. He advised me to rest in the middle of each step completely, but briefly. The rest step, which I still practice today, allows me to walk or climb with little effort. I can move very quickly yet still find a pause in every step.

      I really like this line and think the "rest step" sounds very interesting.

    4. I grew up in a frenetic household

      I also am growing up in a household where the speed always seems to be fast with little rest.
