Hey Beautiful Warriors of Still The Momma,
Let’s talk about a game-changer—Box Breathing. So, I stumbled upon this gem recently, and let me tell you, it’s been like a secret weapon in my arsenal against anxiety. I get it—we’ve faced storms and this little tool might seem miniscule in comparison, until you actually use it. I’m all about sharing the strategies that help us rise above, both big and, small!
Box Breathing, Sis:
Imagine this as your spiritual reset button. Inhale for a count of four, hold that breath for four, exhale for four, and keep those lungs empty for four. It’s like creating a sacred space within yourself where anxiety can’t survive.
Benefits in Our Journey:
Now, why is this box breathing so clutch for us? In the midst of post-separation heartache, non-custodial struggles, and the sting of alienation, anxiety is no stranger. Box breathing is a tool—a lifeline—that we can weave into our daily armor.
Here’s the Spiritual Boost:
Now, let me drop some spiritual wisdom on this. Remember that breath you’re inhaling? God breathed life into us. That exhale? Release it, sister, just like we surrender our burdens to Him. Box breathing aligns our rhythm with the Creator’s divine flow.
Christian Backing:
Psalm 34:18 (NIV) says, “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” When anxiety knocks, box breathing invites God’s presence into our broken spaces. It’s a practical prayer, a moment where we connect with the One who knows our struggles intimately.
So, my fierce sisters, next time anxiety comes knocking, remember your secret weapon—Box Breathing. Inhale His peace, exhale the chaos, and let the rhythm of your breath align with His grace.
Breathing and believing,
Gemma 💪🌸
