What is it that you carry around?

The other day, I was walking into a breath work session.

It's the third session I've been to and every time I go,

it's this beautiful perspective shift, this necessary recalibration.

So I was super excited about this one.

My friend Lindsay Bell was putting it on.

And at some point during the session, she said these words.

Just because you care doesn't mean you need to carry it.

And it might not have been the exact words, I'm paraphrasing,

but want to make sure I give credit where credits do.

And I'm laying there on my back, you know, focusing on breath,

and, you know, couldn't really think at the moment.

But I said to myself,

come back to this later, because it sounds profound,

and I bet you'll be glad that you did.

And I did come back to it later,

and I'm very grateful that I did.

See, one of the things that I took from

the breath work session was calm.

It was managing my day-to-day, dealing with adversity,

trying to keep it all together as I say yes and step into more responsibility.

All of that in my world, it becomes tension. Even when I don't realize it, you know, I carry it in my shoulders, in my muscles, I get tension headaches.
