Work On Your Breathing

Work On Your Breathing

I was just doing some physical development reading and came across a thought that I have to develop, "Work on your breathing.”  This is a significant directive and has much advice to offer in the way of doing life and relationship.  Here are some thoughts:

Every  breath has a pause:  Between every inhalation and exhalation there is a pause.  Life and relationship should be done this way; lot of pauses and times of reflection.

Breathe the fresh in and old out:  Be willing to get rid of unwanted or unneeded stuff quickly.

Breathing at higher altitudes is more difficult:  Climbing to new and higher levels will become more difficult so consider the expenditure before the climb.

Holding your breath can only last for so long:  Living under constant stress is like trying to live under water.  Don’t just come up for air, find ways to live above the stress. 

Questions To Ponder:

• How often do I pause to reflect on what I am doing and why I am doing it?
• How quick to I get rid of the hurts by forgiving?
• Have I considered the cost of success on close relationships?
• To what extent am I living above stress?

Scripture:

Genesis 2:7 "The LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being."
