Lockdown 649

Lockdown Day 649- 4 January 2022

Part of this 02 year will entail the extent to which we will adapt to this not-knowing-what's-going-to-happen status quo. Going against human nature is like kicking a lifetime habit: extremely difficult. Not only that, human nature will try everything to go back to how it was.

I definitely think that, on this 649th day of Lockdown, we have made progress. Learning to zoom out and breathe comes easier, albeit after losing the marbles or throwing a tantrum.

Many of us went into 2021 with gusto, fervor and a "this-is-going-to-be-the-best-year-ever" new year's resolution that didn't quite hit the mark the way we envisioned.

Because of that, we are cautious about doing the same again for fear of what lies ahead. The gusto has made way for a let's-see-how-it-goes entry into 2022.

That is why learning to breathe may just be the way to go for the time being. The oxygen rush when breathing deeply triggers a release of much needed happy hormones, causing peace to replace fear.

This also means tuning into your body and mind, and giving your spirit the upper hand. It takes only three deep breaths, in through the nose and out through the mouth. This exercise will help to align yourself to God's original design.

So start by getting into the 02 mode and teach your body, mind and spirit to inhale the good and exhale the toxic.

And let go, let God. Because He's got this.
