Our culture is set at only two speeds:
•100mph (rat race)
•Zombified (TV staring)
Sometimes you need to take a step back and simply breath.
Let the oxygen fill your lungs, for a moment have no troubles.
Yeah you can’t meditate your life away, but the rat race ain’t healthy either.
Deep breathing does something, you may not be able to explain it, but you can feel it… psychological, and physiological.
I believe it was Martin “Farmer” Burns in an old time physical culture publication that said “Deep breathing alone has made many a weak man strong”.
The more I focus on breathing the more I believe it.
The kicker? This may not mean physically strong, alone or primarily.
Sometimes the best thing to do is take a step back, and just breath for a while.
