I am always amazed at how often I have caught myself holding my breath in the midst some cancerworld challenge. Like I literally have checked in with myself and figured out that I was holding my breathe.
There are sometimes we must hold our breath. (CT scans…some biopsies…sometimes when we are getting our ports accessed.) Most of the time though we ought to be breathing regularly.
If you find yourself holding your breath sometimes it makes sense to stop and take three really deep breathes. You can focus on what it feels like to really fill up your lungs. We will never make it through cancerworld if we hold our breath along the way. It’s not like swimming underwater. Deep breathes can help us remember all the things we can still do. Even when we are in cancerworld.
This might be true for non cancerworld residents too.
