3 Tips on How to Breathe Properly

Your Key to Success: Going Back to the Basics Part Eight

For in death there is no remembrance of thee: In the grave who shall give thee thanks?

Psalm 6:5

Lately I have had great difficulties with my running. 

I can’t handle the stress of it on top of what is going on in my life. 

Instead I have been trying to focus on walking as much as possible. 

During this transition, God has been teaching me to be patient and to trust Him. So…

Now I am taking advantage of the circumstances and training for a 24 mile walk around town, which is something I’ve wanted to do for years.  Up to 3 miles today and my right calf and PF are threatening to cause problems. Oh, the joy of training.

I am having to prioritize breathing properly, lest life become more difficult than necessary. Below I share a quick overview of what I mean by this and then go deeper on the podcast so don’t forget to check that out too!

Have a great week and Happy Running!

Tips on How to Breathe Properly both Physically and Spiritually

Focus on your breathing.

  • Spiritually speaking this is giving thanks
  • Physically speaking this is making sure to take full breaths rather than short and labored

Stop thinking about the circumstances

  • Seek God’s face over his hands
  • Focus on the mile you are in

Remind yourself of Romans 8:28

  • All things work together for good
  • Everything can be used to make you a stronger runner
