I breathe,
Dropping my shoulders down and relaxing my jaw.
I breathe,
Rolling my head from side to side and shaking out my joints.
I breathe,
Tightening and releasing muscles.
I breathe,
Acknowledging my thoughts and feelings and remembering they don’t define me.
I breathe,
Leaning back to find support in your everlasting arms.
Amen.

Amen!!! And after that I decided to go to an art museum … today, right now. You’ve inspired me.

I found myself slowing down and breathing intentionally. Thank you.
