Breathe in Peace. Breathe out Anxiety.

Just reading that makes you feel better, doesn't it?  Be honest...  you inhaled and then exhaled as you read it, almost with intent.  ;)  See how easy that was?

OK, here's the skinny - this pure intent, positive result thing I've been referring to is something you can use all the time, any time, any place.  Remember how I told you to do something intentional this weekend?  Well...  I hope you will include some quality relaxation for yourself.

I will give you a quick example to maximize relaxation...



It's a beautiful morning, you step outside, it's still early, there is a mist over the field, sun is shining, a slight breeze is blowing softly through your hair...  you decide to take a deep breath, tilt your face towards the sun you feel the warmth of the sun on your face, your shoulders, your arms...  yet the mist lends a cool feel to the air.

You take another deep breath, breathing in peace and calm and breathing out stress and anxiety...  Recognizing the beauty of the morning, truly connecting with it, you continue your breathing, rhythmically, in... and out...  You concentrate on breathing in something positive and breathing out anything negative.  Maybe it is stress and anxiety, maybe it is anger or grief you want to breathe out.  Maybe it is peace and calm maybe it is happiness or focus you want to breathe in.  You choose, but do it intentionally.

A simple exercise of breathing in something you want at your core, and breathing out anything that no longer serves you.  Remember...  In positive, Out negative.  Again...  Again...  Even if just for five minutes this is a great exercise to either begin your day with or change your current mood or perception.  Enjoy!

Let me know how you choose to use your new exercise!!  ;)

Be Well,
