Breathing is my way of dispersing serenity through my body.In order to relax, I take slow, deep breaths.I inhale gradually, allowing my lungs to be filled with air.When I exhale, I take my time controlling my breath so it exits my body at a steady pace.

I pause and listen to the air flowing in and out of my body.I avoid short, shallow breaths that end in my chest.Instead, when I breathe, I make sure to breathe deeply.

In the morning, when I go outdoors, I breathe in the freshness of the morning dew.Cleansing my body with fresh air helps me start my day off right.I enjoy breathing air free from pollutants.

My life is free from the effects of smoking.I do not smoke and I stay away from smoky places in order to protect my lungs.As a result, I breathe with ease.

On days when my schedule keeps me going at a fast pace, breathing helps me to be more productive and energized.Sending oxygen to my brain maximizes my brainpower. 

Concentrating on every breath, I envision a powerful cleansing force circulating through my body.I breathe in power and blow out stress.When I am frazzled, I take a breathing break to clear my mind, re-focus, and free my body from stress. 

Self-Reflection Questions:

1.      What exercises can I do to increase the depth of my breaths?

2.      What life changes can I make to strengthen my respiratory system?

3.      Do I consciously avoid pollutants?

I am focused on my goals and dreams.

I allow myself to dream big dreams and set goals accordingly. Then I take action to make them happen.

When I set a goal, the first thing I do is divide the goal into a series of steps I can take to get me there. Each step is an easily attainable task. I schedule the easiest tasks at the beginning so I can jump right in and gain forward momentum toward my goal.

Easy tasks also keep me focused on my goal. Each task I complete successfully gives me confidence to keep moving. I know I am one step closer to my goal and it makes me eager to take the next step.
