In and Out! In and Out! In and Out!
Ever had those days when your life seems like a big fat mess?? Nothing is going right, you can't find your keys, the dog needs to go out, and your kid wants to play Horse Games on the computer for the gadzillionth time, all while having to pee so bad you just might not make it!!
Well, one simple little excercise has gotten me through these kinds of days.
BREATHE
Such an instinctive act that we probably don't think about it much but it sometimes slips my mind in days of stress I forget to do it. So much so I actually have the word tattooed to the inside of my wrist as a reminder!
So many times we just need to take a pause, a brief second to remember to suck in a beautiful breathe of fresh air and blow out all the stress and craziness. This one simple act of life can make or break ant situation! But how many times do we forget to do it?
We get so caught up in the hustle and bustle of life that we forget to stop and smell the flowers!! (Yet, another excercise in breathing! )
I am infamous for taking five minute "power naps." My hubby and daughter know when I say I am going for a power nap I am not to be disturbed. It is code for
"Mommy needs five minutes to herself or she might just go ballistic!!"
And that is all it takes for me to be civil again. So, what do I do in those five minutes? I lay my head down, I clear my mind from all the worries of life and I regain my strength to continue on my day. A breather. Five minutes of no one needing something from me. Me time. Some may disagree but it is really the most unselfish act. It is so you can be the best "you" for your family, for yourself, and for life.
We all need to slow down! Put on the breaks!! And......
STOP
Inhale........
hold it........
holdit........
and blow out all your worries!
And with each glorious breathe of fresh air your spirit will be renewed and refreshed!!
Take time for you today so you can be recharged!
You'll be glad you did!
(and so will your poor family!)
Much Love,
Beth
