Just Breathe

I once read a blog post by Leo Babauta of Zen Habits. It was the most simple and short post, but I often reference it. It was called "Breathe" and it was a generous reminder to let go, enjoy, and breathe. I'd like to take my own spin on this with all the creative-beings in mind, because it really does apply to every thing. And, it is something I will continue to remind myself to do. Hope you can take something from it.

Take a deep breath.

Whenever you feel worried, overwhelmed, frantic, or out-of-body, just breathe. Your muscles will relax and the stress will roll off your back.

If ever you are stuck on planning the future or so focused on making your big break, just breathe. You will come back into the present day.

When caught up in moving so fast in the dance of life, just breathe. Your pace will get slower, your rhythm steady, and you will cherish the transitions.

Just breathe and take a look around. See where you are, who you are with. Embrace who you are and enjoy the moments that make life worth living.
