Breathe, Breathe, Breathe!

There are times that I notice I get so caught up in everything I have to do that I forget to breathe. I run around trying to maximize the items I can check off my list each day that I forget to make time for myself to relax, appreciate my accomplishments, and just breathe. I am sure that I am not alone in this. So here is my wisdom to offer for the week: Force yourself to take a deep breath from time to time. It may seem like you have to keep moving, moving, moving, but it only seems that way. You (we) can afford to slow down, even just a little bit. Taking a quick breather will help you put things in perspective and will save you time and energy in the long run. Good luck, readers! I am confident this will help us all be our better selves.
