breath happens

[keryx]

I listened to a guided meditation this morning that told me "your breath happens without any help from you". I'd been having a conversation with myself about all of these Things I Have to DO, that can't go on without me.

Ha! Many - maybe all - of those things can also happen without any help from me. What in your life is like breathing? What could be?

Your message about breathing happens without any help is the one I talk about at work every day. :)

You take 25,000 breaths each day, and we do take them for granted.

As for your question ... I'm not sure, mostly because the majority of stuff in my life is what I've volunteered for. I opted to not let these things happen without me. The stuff that I didn't volunteer for includes house cleaning, errands, etc., which I try to share. But your question has me thinking.

Maybe related: I'm trying to apply the concept of intuitive eating to exercise.

Thank you. This was very very well-timed for me, something I needed to think about.
