Breathe

by Raymund Tamayo

Most of us tend to take this gift for granted. 

I have learned the habit of “conscious breathing”. I found out that it can transform our lives. 

Whenever I feel overwhelmed, I just stop a moment, take a few deep breaths and get going.

I always make a conscious effort to breathe when:

• I am worried or caught up in the middle of something I can’t do anything about.
• I am discouraged and somewhat lost focus.
• I have too many scattered tasks to do.
• When I am moving too fast and acting like Superman.

Breathing takes me back to the present rather than worrying about the future or regretting the past. 

Breathing reminds me to slow down and enjoy life more. 

Breathing lets me focus on what’s really important… on what really counts.

Breathe. 

I encourage you to learn this habit. Enjoy each moment of this life. 

Because the next thing you’ll know the journey is ending… and you haven’t enjoyed the ride.
