For five minutes just sit down on a comfortable chair and let go of any thoughts if you can and just breathe deeply. Let all the air fill your lungs and let it all out again. Its ok, whatever happens can be fixed, just get lost in your own breath.

Time and time again I get so caught up in my thoughts and feelings that I forget to take time to stop and smell the roses. I am busy worrying about my upcoming exams, meals and clothing size. I forget, like many people that I have all the resources I will ever need inside of me. I am okay. I will always be ok if I just listen to my body.

I notice we are so busy surviving that we stop living, instead we exist. I have been making a concious effort just to let all the tension, the anxiety and anger go and instead just breathe. Breathe deeply and conciously shift my mind and awareness. Choosing instead to be at a higher vibration. To live. Not to exist.

Its not to say that the challenges we face are insiginificant, rather that whatever happens, we have the power within ourselves to be okay. There is no need for anxiety or arrogance, just the quiet confidence in knowing that we will all be okay if we just take a moment to breathe, to calm down and then proceed.
