Sometimes, life can feel overwhelming. We might be busy at work. We might be busy taking care of kids. We might have a lot of work for school. Sometimes, it may feel like we’re swimming in an ocean by ourselves. There is more and more stress. Then, it becomes difficult for us to breathe easily. If you are feeling like this now, remember: It is important to find time to breathe.
