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?
