Oftentimes it takes a bit of effort to breathe. I hold my breath from time-to-time and it's not until I'm feeling the tension in my upper body and the sudden flux in body temperature that I become aware of it. Remind yourself to breath deeply especially in times when you feel tested, troubled, or overwhelmed. The more clean air you take in, the less room there is for stale air. Comfortably fill your lungs with as much air as there is room for then let it out like you're trying to fog a mirror. Make as much sound as you possibly can! Breathe out the stuff that no longer serves you. Have your turtle wondering what's up with you today. Draw something in the fog you've created. Why not, eh? Repeat regularly. Those breaths may lead you to the insights of your behaviors.
What a change in the weather! Although Florida is sunshine and humid most of the year, we too experience an unexpected icy blast from time to time. The familiar sight of flips-flops, booty shorts, and sweat-stained flamingo centered tees can quickly be replaced with puffy down parkas, faux fur lined boots, and red runny noses. Just wait, in about a day or two, the familiar will return. It seems to make no sense. Where would one be without the senses? You know them...sound, taste, touch, smell, and sight. Without these receivers reaching out to let your mind know how to adapt to changes in the body, one might end up out of sorts--booty shorts, faux fur boots, and a red runny nose. Heard of the expression "She's lost her senses" or "That's nonsense!" These and other expressions, perhaps, point to the need to remain connected internally by means of those 5 senses.
