Don’t forget to breathe…

Do we really need to do everything RIGHT NOW?!

It freaks me out how people always worry about things to do or people to meet, movies to watch…lists and lists of things. Our lists are filled with so many bucket lists that we might eventually face a deficit of buckets. I know I exaggerated it but, you get my point. A ‘perfect life’ is overrated. If one thing is solved, two other things pops up. It’s like chopping the Hydra’s head.

I’m not suggesting you just give up all your goals and ambitions and live your life with no purpose. Instead, it’s the opposite. Work hard for what you want, but keep in mind that work is only a part of life, so are other things.

For a few minutes a day, live life in slow motion. Focus on your breathing. Be aware of how much you overlook it’s importance. Eat your next meal slowly instead of gobling it up or just for once, go on a slow walk on a familiar road and you’ll realize how many things have gone unnoticed. Leave your house without your mobile phone. You’ll understand how lost you feel without that tiny device to tap on.

In the race to have a better future, it’s not worth it to ignore the present.

Peace, love and lollipops!
