In the movie Waiting to Exhale, four women find friends, love, and support as they search for happiness in their lives.
I found all those things in my life when I discovered the power of my breath and the strength of my voice.
This journey hasn’t been easy at times. It’s been filled with many twists and turns, ups and downs, lefts and rights.
It’s taken me to places within myself that weren’t always comfortable or even safe.
But it was so worth it…and continues to be so every day. In this blog post, you will learn more about who I am, what I do, and why it’s important to live your best life today.
A Short Bio About Me
Before we get started, let’s get to know each other. I am originally from sweet home, Alabama; however, I’ve been living on the east coast!
What’s more, I’m passionate about encouraging people to take action to experience the life they desire. I help them do this by showing them that they have the power to create change in their lives.
I do this via blogging.
Why Is Exhaling Important for me?
Simply put, the world we live in is nothing short of stressful. So, I need to take a deep breath now and then, especially when stressed out or feeling overwhelmed.
Why?…inhaling and exhaling are one of the most simple and effective ways to relax the mind and body.
Not to mention, allowing myself to breathe properly helps reduce stress, ease tension, and promote a sense of calmness and well-being.
So, give it a try…inhale slowly and deeply through your nose, then exhale fully through your mouth.
And try to do this for a few minutes each day, and you’ll start to feel the calming effects.
How I Use My Breath To Live My Best Life!
Having a regular practice of taking deep, intentional breaths is so important to me. Because it helps me stay open to ideas and solutions when I feel stuck, it helps me enjoy the journey when I’m impatient for results.
“Breathe and the World Breathes with You.” –Unknown
Also, when I hit bumps in the road, it helps me stay positive and excited for what’s next and be kind and forgiving with myself when I’m not getting everything right.
At the same time, it helps me stay focused and productive when I need to get stuff done; It helps me take breaks when I need them; and stay in the moment when I’m easily distracted.
How Speaking Out Helps Me Live My Best Life!
Speaking out about important issues is a powerful way to create change in the world.
And research shows that people are more likely to follow you if they know what your values and beliefs stand for, not just from words but also through actions – so take some time today (or tomorrow) on this subject matter, which means something personal enough to make an impact…
Writing is another way that I show up for myself and others. It’s another way that I live my values.
It’s another way that I use my voice to create change in the world. It has been such a powerful tool for me to find my voice and create the life I want truly.
It has shown me that you don’t need to be a published author to have a voice. You don’t need to be famous or have thousands of followers to impact the world.
In addition, writing helps me see the struggles I’ve overcome as opportunities to become even more confident and empowered.
And it allows me to see that my challenges make me a better person and that my struggles make me stronger.
Summing It Up…Waiting to exhale!
There are so many benefits to fully exhaling and then breathing in again. You can use your breath to live your best lives in many ways.
Besides, there are many ways to use our voices to create change in the world; we can share our truths, gratitude, and hearts with the world.
“The tongue can paint what the eyes can’t see.” –Chinese Proverb
Finally, there are so many ways that we can be heard and seen…to stand up for ourselves. There are many ways we can be the change in the world. (All it takes is an effort and a desire!)
Words mean more than what is set down on paper. It takes the human voice to infuse them with deeper meaning” –Maya Angelou
