Maintain Your Homeostasis

"Maintain Your Homeostasis" is one of many of Mr. Okezie's catch-phrases. It generally means to take four deep breaths, while taking your time of course, to the effect of reducing one's cortisol levels. He says this almost all the time....and it works.

Hey man, your messing up the vibe. It's a vibe....bruh. Maintain Your Homeostasis.
