Often we hear about the importance of the exhale. Letting your breath out fully and releasing not only your air but also your stresses along with it. Many meditation guides will remind you to be present with your exhale, that you are breathing out fully. And of course the term "wooosahhh" that is often a reminder to exhale during times of stress. But last night a poem came to mind and as I wrote it out on paper I remembered just how important the other half of breathing is to the process. Yes, we breathe out and release but it is the inhale that brings new life, new perspective, and a fresh start.
This year I have been juggling 4 part-time jobs while trying to plan a wedding. I have been focusing a lot on the exhale while trying to remain balanced. Last night as the words poured out on paper in the form of a poem I realized the humor in trying to find balance in one half of the breathing process. Today I will remain mindful of the exhale but I will give equal attention to the freshness of the inhale! I'm so grateful for the creative soul that can give me words of wisdom that I forgot I had. I'm grateful to honor that gift when a poem arises, knowing there is something to be heard. I'm grateful for the power of recognizing the inhale. I'm grateful for the balance I can already feel as the inhale and exhale work together. I'm grateful for the realization that living is in the inhale. And I'm grateful to share this with you all today. Even coaches need reminders sometimes and I'm so grateful to have gotten a beautiful one.
How can you be mindful of your inhale today? How can you balance your breathing and what positive changes could that make in your life? May your day be blessed with deep, healing breaths. May your inhale renew and invigorate your spirit. Have a beautiful day!
