One day I was talking to a friend about some problems that they were experiencing and I remembered a time when I was in the same boat telling my friend all of my worries. I clearly remember my friend saying to me “Mia just breathe!” Her one statement, made all of the difference in how I looked at my situation. Sometimes we become so consumed with what’s going on around us that we hold our breath in anticipation and forget to breathe!
We also view are problems to be bigger than life itself when in reality they are but small in nature. It’s easy to see the problems in our lives because they can sometimes overwhelm us and this feeling makes us overlook the small things. It is the small things that we often times take for granted. These are the moments that we should just sit still, breathe and let go!
Georgia O’Keeffe once said in reference to her artwork “Everyone sees the big things,but the smaller things are so beautiful and people might not notice them if I didn’t emphasize them.” That’s the way it is with gratitude and letting go. It’s easy to see the problems in our lives because they're like mountains. But sometimes we overlook the smaller things; we don’t notice how truly beautiful they are.
So if you’re going to make anything bigger than life itself then let it be your gratefulness, and don’t forget to BREATHE!
Be Blessed
