Day 23 - Exhale

Job 33:4
The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.


When I taught aerobics, the cool down was my favorite part of the class. Today, practice relaxation breathing throughout the day. If you can, close your eyes…breathe in through your nose and blow the air out through your mouth. Do this a few more times and relax all the muscles in your body. Now roll your shoulders back a few times and then roll them forward. Continue to breathe and roll your head from right to left, then left to right. Keep breathing in and out (remember in through the nose & out through the mouth). Squeeze your hands into a fist and hold for 5 seconds, then release, repeat. Shrug your shoulders up and hold for 5 seconds, then release and repeat. Keep breathing. Curl your toes and hold for 5 seconds, release and repeat. Now just relax and breathe in through your nose and exhale out of the mouth. Repeat 5 times. Do this exercise as many times as you can today and 1 more time when you lie down for bed tonight. You may want to do this several times a week. You are beautiful.

Dear Lord, help me to relax more and free my mind of all stressors. Thank You Jesus!
