Sometimes I overcomplicate things. Or I think I have to research everything exhaustively to find the perfect solution. I found myself doing this over the course of the past year as I was navigating divorce. I wanted to heal perfectly, completely... to cover all of the bases: spiritual, emotional, physical... And that process became exhausting. I kept looking for a magic bullet, something I hadn't yet discovered that would finally help the healing process feel more real.

And I think I've finally found the secret...

There is no secret.

I lost sight of the goal when it became about fixing myself rather than accepting where I was in this moment.

Healing is here in this present moment.

It's as close as our next breath.

Seriously, one of the most healing things you can do for yourself is take deep, intentional breaths.

Or stay hydrated.

Those aren't secrets!

But when was the last time you did these things? (No judgment!)

The amount of healing that breath work and hydration can bring to your body is pretty mind-blowing.

So if you're like me and have been searching for something "out there" to help you feel better, I want to invite you today to do 3 things:

1) Create 3 minutes of space in your schedule today (you can set a timer 😉) to check in with yourself. Stay quiet for 3 minutes and really ask yourself how you're doing and listen without judgment.

2) Breathe intentionally and deeply. What does it feel like to fill your lungs with air? To exhale fully and feel the weight of your body against the surface beneath you? What are you running from instead of facing intentionally?

3) Drink some water. Drink lots of water. Add some lime juice or maybe some fruit. Get fancy with it if you want to.

And then give yourself some grace. Err on the side of rest and do more things that feel good today.

Healing is within you. It's important to create time and space to access that incredible power.

Sending all the good vibes your way,

Taylor
