“May you never overlook how powerful it can be to slow down for a moment and take a little time to breathe." -Morgan Harper Nichols Pause. Breathe in. Aim. Breathe out. Throw. As I entered the spear-throw arena in my most recent Spartan race, these words were repeating in my head. At this point, I had already sprinted nearly 2 miles and completed 11 of the 23 obstacles. Though I practice throwing quite frequently, I’ve missed every spear in every previous race. The need to rush through this obstacle always prevailed, yet I repeated in my mind: Pause. Breathe in. Aim. Breathe out. Throw. Pause. With the spear balanced in my hand, I took a deep breath, aimed, and released the spear as I exhaled. The spear glided through the air and hit the target with a satisfying ‘thunk.’ Without a second glance, I sped out of the arena. I pondered on this moment as I travelled home. Isn’t it amazing how something so simple as a pause and breath can make a massive difference in the outcome of an event? I genuinely believe that ‘taking a beat’ in life’s most chaotic moments can help recenter the mind and refocus the heart. Take a moment, dear friends, especially when life feels overwhelmingly topsy-turvy. There’s power in that moment and undeniable clarity. Pause. Breathe in. Aim. Breathe out. Throw. XO Rebekah |
