Acknowledge Your Life Force and Exhale
“𝐅𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐠𝐨 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐝𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐲 𝐬𝐤𝐲. 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐫.” – 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐍𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐇𝐚𝐧𝐡
Sometimes it's easy to get swept away in the tempest of emotions, especially given the current state of the world. But guess what? Like weather patterns, emotions are transient. They come; they go. You're not tied to them, nor are they the defining narrative of your life.
Now, let's talk about that anchor, shall we? Conscious breathing. It sounds simple, but it's powerful beyond measure. When the world feels a bit too much, when anxiety grips us, or when joy overwhelms us, conscious breathing is our grounding force. It's that moment of pause where you inhale deeply, acknowledge your life force, and exhale, letting go of whatever holds you back. It's an instant return ticket to the present moment, a touchstone that says, "Hey, I'm here, and it's okay." In a world that sometimes feels like a rollercoaster, your breath is the seatbelt that keeps you secure, allowing you to experience the ride fully, yet safely. So next time the emotional winds pick up, remember, your breath is your anchor.
