Writing class

[Beany Boo]

After a week’s reflection I think the most important thing I’m learning is to breathe comfortably while working. Not just while writing but during my day job too. I didn’t realize it until I started doing it spontaneously.

As someone who struggles with hyperventilating and also, shallow breathing it’s a breakthrough. And it feels like a clear exercise of my will; sort of the basic prerequisite of asserting yourself in a work context.

I’ll breathe comfortably more often through more difficult moments. And I’ll deliberately pause in my work and take a breath, before continuing. What I was doing before without realizing, it felt like work was literally robbing me of my right to breathe freely.
