forgetting to breathe

Sometimes during my day I do this obnoxious exhale, as if I lost my breath, or I was sighing about something.  If I'm with someone they'll ask "what?" or "what's wrong?".  My response is always "Oh, I forgot to breathe".  And I realize the ridiculousness of that answer, I've been told that its not a voluntary action, my body won't just forget to breathe.  But I swear, that  is what's happening. It feels like I'm using up all my brain power thinking about the nitty gritty day to day bullshit, that I actually forget to breathe.


My solution, meditation.  #cleanfifteen is about breathing, relaxing, centering yourself.  I don't care if I do this as a quick breathing exercise between classes, a yoga session, or a guided meditation session before sleep.  I want to take at least two minutes everyday to just stop and clear my mind.


And breathe,
