There are days when coming up with an intention or a theme for the day feels impossible. How can you add another thing? These are the times to turn to the anchor that requires zero thought…the breath.
The breath is our connection to all that is beyond us. We take in the new and exhale the used. With every breath we have the chance to bring in the power of the Universe, and let go of anything that keeps us stuck. And we have over 10,000 opportunities each day to do this!
Today’s inspiration: Breath
How to use it: Throughout the day, pay attention to your breath whenever you can. On the inhale, say to yourself, “I am inflating to my fullest potential.” On the exhale: “I release anything that doesn’t serve me.” Feel your lungs expand and let the power in!
Example: You have been putting off making a phone call. You are going over all the reasons you don’t want to, berating yourself for not having called already, and trying to find an excuse to avoid doing it right now. Stop the train of thought by focusing on your breath. Hold your phone and breath deeply three times. With each breath, say to yourself:
I am inflating to my fullest potential. I release anything that doesn’t serve me.
Now make the call and prove to yourself this is true.
Try this any time you find yourself procrastinating or thinking negative thoughts.
When you expand with breath and project your energy, you catch the Universe’s attention. The Universe always wants what is best for you, so having it in your corner is a good thing!
Be inspired. Go forth. Create your day.
The words for the expansion affirmation were inspired by my favorite yoga teacher, Brett Larkin. See list of inspiring people under Resources.
