of the inhale, the exhale
and the spaces between
for the following three breaths

"Instead of thinking of Mother’s Day as the one day to be appreciated by the individuals in our life, we can turn Mother’s Day into a celebration of women and self-nurturing. Well-being isn’t created outside of us in our environment; it is cultivated in the heart, mind, and body. When the necessity of well-being is ignored, health declines both physically and emotionally....
..........
Mindfulness is the glue that holds together all self-care. Without mindfulness we can’t really tune into how we are feeling. Even simple things like neck tension and pain can be alleviated if you could notice that your shoulders were hiked up all the time and drop them down. Most people are so caught up in their multitasking that they can’t tell what their body is doing until it starts to scream at them with pain. By teaching ourselves to be mindful we can empower our journey into self-care and make significant improvements in our well-being."
