Breathe
I breathe peace into my day.
How
many times has someone tried to soothe me by saying “It’s okay, just
breathe …” I heed this advice often and share it with others.
Just breathe. Simply thinking these two words causes me to stop what I am doing and refocus. If the day is not going the way I had hoped, if my interaction with a family member is causing stress, if an unexpected bill arrives in the mail, I pause and just breathe.
With each breath, I slow my heartbeat and relax. I disconnect from the busyness or stress of the world to enter my inner space where I feel my oneness with God. In this sacred space, I regroup and ready myself for the rest of the day. I respond to any stress from my place of peace, simply by breathing.

Let everything that breathes praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!—Psalm 150:6
