Finding breathing space in these busy days is an art form. You need to be able foresee the possibility of an unscheduled moment, or be able to pounce on it should it suddenly appear due to cancellations or rescheduling. It takes a bit of practice not to let the moment slip by or fill it with another task from the tyrannical to do list. Awareness and a commitment to self care are the key ingredients to seizing the moment to simply breathe.
Those minutes, or if we are lucky hours or even a day can renew our spirits and provide the extra boost we need to continue in the busyness of daily living. Without those spaces our spirits start to wither, our body starts to rebel and our relationships begin to suffer. The simple remedy is to have breathing spaces where you can be still and listen. Listen to your breath. Listen to your heart song. Listen to the breeze whisper your name as it rustles through the trees. Listen to the silence as the snowflakes fall. Listen. Listen and breathe. Then when your breath is even and your soul is a tad bit more calm, pick yourself up and head back to into the gift that is your life.
