One Apple A Day #625 - Inhale and Exhale
Inhale and exhale.
Breathing is such a simple action. So simple most of the time we don't pay attention to it. Yet, it is the essence of life. Inhale; new air is pulled within your lungs, oxygen is taken all around through your blood feeding your cells. Exhale; the stale air that has finished its job is flushed out, the carbon dioxide is released back to air.
Inhale and exhale.
It is so easy to forget to breathe. Sometimes, while I'm doing something intense, like a physical exercise, I realise that I hold my breath.
So, this morning I was sitting in my usual place, waiting for the inspiration to come so I could start writing. But nothing was emerging from the chaos of thoughts spinning in my mind. Then I realised that I was holding my breath again.
Inhale and exhale.
I've been holding my creative breathing lately. Exhaling maybe, but forgetting to inhale. Flushing out a lot of ideas and words without breathing in new inspirations through experiences, reading and conversations.
Inhale and exhale.
