Uncertainty

I know the thoughts that I think toward you

Yet To Be #193

The old year exits while a new one enters.
The future holds promise, disappointment, sorrow, or joy.
Uncertainty looms large.
We bow blinded by the experiences of the past.
Toil to seek the best possible outcome as we stumble aimlessly in the dark.
Yet, there is hope.
Hope which rises, not compressed, not stamped out.
It stands eternal in our hearts.
Anticipation brightens the eyes and lightens the path.
When there is hope, there is life.
When there is life, there is God, the Master, the Creator, our heavenly Father.

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. (KJV) or to give you a future and a hope. (ESV) Jeremiah 29:11

Destress and Breathe and Exercise

slow controlled breathing can help lower your heart rate, your blood pressure and ease anxiety

Can breathing exercises help strengthen the lungs against Covid- 19?

As per an article from aarp.org, strengthening the lungs with deep breathing is good for pulmonary health by clearing out the lungs to help reduce the risk of infection and pneumonia.  Exercise does the same thing.  Aerobic exercise helps to keep your heart, lungs and circulatory system healthy.  Aerobic exercise means with oxygen which includes brisk walking, swimming, running, cycling, dancing any form of exercise that elevates the heart and forces oxygen into the lungs.

So does exercise and deep breathing protect you against Covid 19?  Experts cannot totally agree, but according to research Covid 19 attacks the lungs and if deep breathing and exercises are beneficial to increase lung health, why not do them?

Slow controlled breathing can help lower your heart rate, your blood pressure and ease anxiety. 

So, take another breath and relax or go for a walk.

 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air ( not without purpose) But I keep under my body and bring it into subjection (discipline)…1 Corinthians 9 verses 26 and 27a
