Breathe.
I was in the middle of my martial arts training last night, we were doing sword and for some reason I kept feeling something was ‘off’.
Then I stopped and I realized I wasn’t breathing. I was holding my breath and releasing it in staccato beats, which was tensing me up. I took a long, deep breath, and resolved to be in the moment. I wasn’t going to care about who won or lost, or how good or bad my technique was going to be. Today’s swordplay was going to be my meditation session.
So many times, when we get stressed, we forget to breath. The next time you’re feeling stressed, stop – and take a deep breath.
Breathe into your power.
