I’m scurrying around, getting ready for Ron’s and my trip back to the states, and I’ve been using a simple meditation step to stay grounded amidst the chaos. I took a break to give you an update along with a little quick pick-me-up breath (which I hope you will do along with me:)
A Simple Meditation Step for Travel
So figured I’d check-in, tell you about my U.S. trip and ask if you want to do this delicious calming yet relaxing breath with me? It feels so good to just stop for a second when the list is a mile long. I find that soothing our restless nervous system is the only way I can stay focused enough to finish packing. I’ve been leaning on these daily healing practices here to make sure I don’t get too overwhelmed before we leave.
Calming the nervous system down
I’m really curious how it will feel to leave behind our new “normal” of Portugal (18 months now) and experience our old normal of Florida for a couple of weeks? It’s a strange feeling to go back to a place you once knew so well. I’m trying to focus on quieting that internal travel anxiety that bubbles up when I’m about to board a flight. I’ll let you know!
With Love,
Becca
P.S. I just winged this one video. I really just hit record and started talking, which is a bit scary for me. Felt good, even though I judge myself about how old I look and that I should be hiding behind some make-up. I decided to share this short grounding meditation session because being real is better than being perfect. According to a study on rhythmic breathing benefits, these small breaks can really shift your entire mood. Just sayin’
obrigado for the breath work! we both enjoyed the experience. linda is recovering from hip replacement surgery and I just had a shoulder replacement surgery. we are doing fine …..just slow!
have a terrific time in Florida.
Denis ❤️ Slow is a great pace! Heal well you two!
Thank you for your Florida well wishes!
Thanks, Becca! I didn’t think I’d make it the whole three minutes but I did! Safe travels.
Edna, yay! And having said that, go easy on yourself – we often need to work up to these more vigorous breaths. But you ran down to the deep end and jumped in! xob
Hello Becca..I love your breathing technique. And your visit back home 🏡 is to be a good one I hope.Nice to see you in the now.you look great btw…not old at all.you appear happy& natural.

Michael, thank you for your kind words!
Happy and natural is a great place to land! (Maybe “ageless” would be a nice addition 😂)
Excellent breath work Becca. See you soon. Safe travels!
The breath is a nice picker-upper, isn’t it 😍
Thank you my Floridian friend – your warm welcome makes up for temps in the 60s 🥶 😂
