Breathe

Had a few errands to run on foot today. Had a lot on my mind, yet the cool air and warm sun felt good. I focused in on my breathing, letting my stress go more and more with each exhale. Slowly I felt lighter, looser, and more mellow. I felt as if in a meditative stance, the way I do in Yoga. Somehow things began to realign within me and I heard that old intuitive voice reminding me of what was important, what needed to be done today and what could wait. I rediscovered my ability of self direction, more than that, calm and focused self direction. I got scared of that for awhile, I got scared of maybe getting a little too caught up in my own power, I recently joined a church and I had begun worrying maybe I wasn't living humbly enough or gracious enough or putting myself on a higher level too much...but that's not it, it's just simply knowing how to slow down, knowing how to take care of yourself. So ready to go back to Yoga this week, as soon as life allows me to get there.
