This week, I took a well-deserved break. For the first time in many years, I boarded a plane. I needed space to breathe. My illness and caregiving responsibilities took precedence for nearly a decade. Being immune compromised also led to isolation during the first two years of the pandemic. Traveling was the last thing on my mind.
I've gotten into mindfulness more lately, but it never occurred to me that mindfulness can be practiced by journaling. It makes a lot of sense. I always thought it happens by sitting still for a while in a fixed position. It makes sense why journaling has been so helpful for me when I think about it this way.
The beach is always somewhere I can take a deep, deep breath. I am trying *so* hard to practice mindfulness. It helps my anxiety and overworking brain immensely, and it is so important to live in the moment!

So glad you got some time at the beach with an old friend— so restorative ❤️
I am amazed at the power of breathing.
Excellent article, as usual, Tracy.
So glad to see you taking a vacation.
Nothing like a taking a walk on the beach 🏝️
Doing tai chi has been one of the most healing things I have done for myself. What a beautiful place to breathe ☺️
