Breathe.
It’s so simple, and still, I so easily forget.
Life moves fiercely. It pulls at us with deafening noise, endless distractions, and insatiable demands.
So pause. Breathe.
Close your eyes for a moment.
Pay attention to your breathing. Just to notice. The steady rise. The gentle fall. The quiet rhythm that has been with you all along, even when everything else feels scattered and rushed.
Breathe in.
Breathe out.
Let your body soften. Drop your shoulders. Feel the environment around you, the air moving in and out as if it knows the way better than you do.
Slow down.
Breathe.
It’s going to be okay.
