Just Breathe

Breathe!

I'm all about the breathing. So often I feel like I'm holding my breath and don't even realise this until suddenly all at once when I do breathe I feel the tension leave my body and a weird calmness takes it's place.

We spend so much time waiting for when it's the right time to  relax and enjoy the moment that too frequently we miss the opportunities altogether.

This 100 days I'm determined to remember to breath -I'm not going to get it right all the time but I am going to remember to breathe. There is something quite magical about breathing - we do it so instinctively so maybe this is a bit of a signpost of how we should live our lives.

My sister made a good comment today about something my dad used to say, the sun will come up again tomorrow. So true. No matter what goes right or wrong the day passes, the moment moves on and we keep living. I guess it means that getting hung up on stuff doesn't change anything. We will be breathing regardless.

I think that sometimes we find it so easy to spend money, have things, fill our world with stuff when all we need is each other, the basics and breathing.

I'm really trying to find ways to spend less - it just should not be that difficult. Food, petrol, bills - what else is really necessary - ah yes, the internet! Well it takes time to break bad habits but these 100 days are for taking a good hard look at things and seeing how they can be worked around or turned towards a better path.

Right, breathing is a good place to start. I'm going to concentrate on that today.
