Remember to Breathe: A Gentle Call to Self-Care and Resistance

There are weeks when the weight of the world feels especially heavy. We’re each processing the news in our own way, carrying our unique burdens and heartaches. Here are links to both my TikTok and my Instagram if you’d like a video to follow along with as we take a moment to breathe together. I can’t claim to know what anyone is feeling, but I do know this: taking a moment to breathe is one of the simplest, most profound acts of self-care. It’s free, it’s accessible anywhere, and it has the power to ground us in ways that only the rhythm of our own breath can.


Breathing is resistance. Pausing in a world that often demands we keep moving, keep producing, keep pushing forward—it’s a quiet, radical act of love. I’m not the one who coined the phrase “self-love is resistance,” but I hold it close. For many of us, our journey with self-love began in moments of feeling unloved or unseen. We found ways to be tender with ourselves, even when the world around us felt harsh or unforgiving. This, too, is resistance. In a time when so many feel unsafe or unheard, cultivating safety within ourselves is both a powerful and healing practice.


I don’t claim to be a warrior at heart. I am, at my core, a lover, a nurturer, a caretaker. And on my good days, perhaps a listener. So I’m here, offering this tiny space, as a refuge. A place to breathe, to reconnect, to remember that even when we feel alone, we are held by our own strength, our own kindness.


I invite you to join me in this small ritual—a moment to simply breathe together. Come as you are, with all that you carry. Take a moment to slow down, to feel the rise and fall of your breath. Let this be a reminder that in choosing to care for ourselves, we are engaging in an act of quiet defiance, a refusal to be worn down by the demands of the world.




So, pause. Breathe. Allow yourself this moment of respite, this act of softness. You are safe here. You are not alone.


xoxo,

M
