3 Minute Retreat - Breathe

Are you breathing?

Have you ever had anyone ask you that question before?
I have. Often.
Many years ago when I was struggling with my whole self, I walked around as quietly as possible as to never be noticed. 
I wanted to disappear among the people I was with in the room.

My dear friend would stop and ask me, 'Andrea, are you breathing?' He went on to exclaim, 'you are worth the air you breathe.'
I remember wanting to crawl deeper within myself when I heard this, I could not fathom. I was never told I was worthy.

But, taking it in for yourself, if you will, breath is life.
Do you pause to truly breathe and fill your lungs with the air that keeps you alive?
Do you recognize its worth, the value, the gratitude?

Today, I want you to pause in your breathing. 

Listen.
Feel.
Find gratitude and worth.
​
Remember, you are worthy of the air you breathe, air not all have received in such a gift.
