This week was hectic to say the least. Maybe it was for you too?
It's easy to when we have much going on to kind of let go of the good routines or our practise... and sometimes that might honestly be what we need. To feel good is not always obsessing about the healthy and forcing our rituals on ourselves when we already have a lot of strain. Sometimes a cup of hot chocolate can bring just as much feeling of goodness as the healthiest thing you can think of.
What I'm trying to say here is don't be too hard on yourself if you can't stick to it sometimes, especially when you feel you've already got the world on your shoulders. That's when you need that extra support. To feel the world got your back.
Don't color your day with a bad mood.
But then there's that inner struggle of I HAVE TO THIS AND I HAVE TO THAT AND AAAAAAH! So there's things to be done,
but
what you need the most is your breath. You can return to it at any time. Wherever you are. It takes no time and very little effort. Yet it gives much back. That's the beauty of it.
If you're stressed. Breathe.
If you are in pain. Breathe.
If you're upset. Breathe.
If you're overwhelmed. Breathe.
If you've had enough of reading this just give yourself a break and breathe instead.
Surely you will get into that kind of situation again. Not all days can be a manifestation of flow. Of course you can prepare for the challenges, but when all is said and done... in the heat of the moment there might feel like there is only one way (there is never just one way!) and we might forget all about our brilliant techniques of stress management when we need them the most.
When it happens just remind yourself.
Take a moment.
You can choose how to feel.
You can choose a better way.
You got this.
You have time for this breath.
