“There’s nothing mystical or abstract about it. It’s physical. Your breath is your life-force, right here, right now. It could not be any simpler. Just breathe and reclaim your soul.”

Here’s to a happier, healthier, and stronger new year 🙏 ❄️ 🧊
A few of my favorites this year:
#1. You don’t have to meditate; breathing meditates you.
#12. Our breath moves spirit around like our hearts move blood around.
#13. Breath is to body what Brandy is to wine.
#22. Breathe hearter, not smarter.
(1) Bring to mind someone you would die for—no hesitation, no questions asked.
(2) Now ask yourself: Would you live for this person? Would you start that one thing you know you should be doing? (Yes, that one.) Would you give up that one thing you know you shouldn’t be doing? (Only you know which one.)
It’s easy to say you’d die for someone. What’s harder is really living for them instead.
