• Do the opposite

• Recently I was told to focus on breathing out while breathing in, and breathing in while breathing out

• For whatever reason, this helps me take really deep breaths

• Deep breaths are wonderful

• I'm not sure why this works, but it made me think about thinking about, or actually doing, the opposite of what I think I need to do in the moment

• You would think to take a deep breath, you should think about breathing in and then breathing out

• I take better breaths when I do the opposite

• I'd like to apply this to more of my life

• When I have a bunch of things I think I need to do, maybe that is when I really need to relax and do nothing

• When I think I can't do anymore, maybe that's when I need to push myself a bit further to see what I am capable of

• We think we know what is best for ourselves, but maybe we are completely wrong

• Maybe not completely wrong, but I don't think it would hurt to try the opposite from time to time

• Sometimes you just need to do the opposite
