231. Air

Q.  "Psych! what do you mean when you say keep breathing? is that like you sayin to relax or keep living or something.  love your writing by the way, keep it coming"

A.  When I say "keep breathing" I'm telling you to take a moment to consider...yes, keep living....yes, yes.  

It's all of that...it's a catch all phrase to help all of you remember that you have to learn how to "respond" not "react".  You have to remember that breathing can be a conscious act.  

Consider this tidbit, we often think of our breath only when we're losing it (working out, surprise, pain, etc) anyone who has had asthma can understand this... so forcing yourself to breathe is a way to acknowledge that which you barely pay attention to despite doing it all the time.  Read that again.  It's a literal and figurative metaphor.  Breathe. Pay attention. Refocus. Live...don't just exist.
