Cartoons

Sometimes it’s hard to remember to breathe.

Especially when things happen that take your breath away or disrupt your breath.

Or cause you to forget that you know how to breathe.

So remember to breathe.

At the very least, try to remember to breathe.

And, when all else fails and you forget to breathe, breathe as much as you can as soon as you realize you forgot to breathe.

I really should have called this blog “Find the Habit” instead of “Find the Quiet” because every other post is about habits.

But I really do think that almost everything comes down to habit. Yes, the habit may have been the result of something you couldn’t control – be it depression, anxiety, or some other condition. The habit may have had some useful purpose once upon a time – kind of the way summer vacation was originally so that the kids could help with the harvest. 

Want something more than anything.
Know something more than anything.
Feel something more than anything.
Love something more than anything.

Above all, know what your ‘more than anything’ is.

And make it more important than everything.

Someone asked why I was writing this blog now (or something like that)…

I’m writing this blog because there was a time when I needed to read about the experience of someone who got better.

Maybe someone out there needs to read about the experience of someone who got better.

And I know what helped me to get better.

I know what I did. I know what worked. I know what didn’t work.

Maybe something that helped me will help someone else.

Or maybe you’ll post a comment about what worked for you. And it will help someone who needs it.
