For the first few months I thought it'd be over soon, and I'd be back in Australia by September at the latest. Well 😂 I've come to terms with it in the meantime, it is what it is, and am working on new content again. Anyone who’s been here for a bit knows I sometimes need a lil longer 😅 This breathing technique is a simple + quick way to calm down both body + mind, for times when I lose my serenity and calm.
