Things go wild and crazy hard sometimes. Plans that change course in a second, challenges that rise from places you didn’t even know existed, people who drain your energy with negative vibes, your own conscience that asks too much of you.
Caught in all this, you find a certain feel of anxiety, anguish, maybe even despair. What do you do? What do you choose to do next? How do you respond? How do you heal?
Sure, there are countless ways in which you can overcome hardship, but probably the simplest & most important thing you can do is TO BREATHE.
Breathe in fresh air, breathe out your layers of worries, breathe in again some more fresh oxygen, breathe out those negative feelings about how you’re not good enough.
Stop judging yourself by other people’s terms.
Stop judging yourself by some terms that you made before you became who you are today, before you knew better.

One thing that I’ve learned is that we must be willing to adapt our perspective, our vision, as we gain more knowledge and add more meaningful experiences to our life. The continuous self-development depends on our mind’s ability to recreate or to reorganize its environment. And in all this, the only thing we have to remember is that we are breathing and it’s all the sign we need for our aliveness.
Sometimes, turning back the page to the basics is the single thing that can save us. Like breathing, like blinking, like smelling the damn roses, like finger-walking our hands on the visions of our dreams, like listening to our blood starting to run again through our veins.
It’s the simple stuff.
It’s the simple life we should dream about.
It’s the honest connections with the world within and the world outside that we should yearn for.
It’s the attention we give to ourselves.
It’s the pure care & openness to love that pink up our hearts.
It’s the responsibility we treat our time with.
It’s the silence we manage to compose with the sounds that derail our focus.
Wow! There’s only so little we need to get THERE, isn’t it?
Breathe in… Breathe out…
Breathe in… Breathe out…
