If you're going to fuel your beautiful cells,

Think about what you're feeding them.

And if you're standing up and doing something else while you're eating, that's not being in the present moment, having the experience with food.

It's a pause.

This is the pause to the go, go, go.

So if you don't feel yourself pausing, and then some people are going, I don't like the pause.

The pause feels like death to me.

It's like, well, that's okay.

You know, boom.

We're only pausing for like, try for five seconds.

Think about your breath.

You know, this is why a lot of people do yoga.

A lot of people do breath work.

Well, why?

Because when we breathe, we breathe in the present moment.

And in the present moment, I can, really simple, I can increase the frequency of my breath, the amplitude, the depth of my breath.

I can hold my breath.

Human is the only animal who can, you can say, hold your breath and you can hold your breath.

So really bringing your mind into the present.

And then, so that's the do-do, but then there's this spiritual connection.
