How easy it is for my mind to rush ahead to what’s next and what might happen. And what I have to get done. How easy it is to get caught in too much thinking, and rethinking, and rethinking.
This breath is all we have.
All I have is right here, right now, right in front of me. No matter how many times I remember this, I then forget it. No matter how often I hear it, it’s a good reminder. Each time my yoga instructor offers this prompt, I think, “Oh yeah. That’s right. Just this breath.”
This breath. And now this one.
I know that I’m blessed beyond belief. I know that at times the scars from my past ache. I know that I have a choice – I always have a choice – in where and how I focus and how much joy I allow in my life.
And I know that I only have this breath.
It’s so easy to get carried away, thinking I have to fix things. Or fix me. But when I breathe, and breathe again, I feel release, relief, and ease. I feel my heart fill with love – to overflowing.
This breath is all I have. That’s all I have to say about that right now.
I’d love to hear your thoughts, and please share this post with others if it resonates with you!
Thank you. This is all we need to remember: This breath is all we have, right now.
I needed that.
Yes. Right now. I needed it now too!
