It has been one of those days.
I don’t mean that in an exasperated sense.
Just a day I am aware of my breathing.
I am aware of how shallow or deep each breath is.
I am aware of what it feels like to fill my lungs and then push the air out.
I am aware that each breath brings oxygen, energy and life.
I had a sweet conversation with my five year old niece who shared with me that when she was in a difficult space this week she took time to take some deep belly breaths. She knows the benefit of deep breathing.
I wonder if you are aware of your breath.
I tuned into my breathing today and I am more aware of my being. I feel more deeply and seem to be more present in each moment. I am aware that deep breathing slows down my rapid paced world. It slows my thoughts, my responses and my actions.
I invite you to consider your breathing in the moments, hours, days and weeks ahead.
It is a crazy simple way to stay in touch with some very basic life giving actions that often we take for granted.
Go, breathe and enjoy…..
