Breathe. Walk. Sleep.

This is how far humanity has come.

We need to be told that we need to breathe, walk and sleep.

We are swamped with articles, books, coaching, events, retreats, and research on how to recover from being rushed, pressured, and pushed to exhaustion in our ever-so-accelerating work and life.

A lot of input is about re-learning things that we did naturally ages ago or that kids do naturally.

We are human beings that breathe, walk and sleep. This should be normal. And not be normalized.

It should be normal that we sometimes take deep breaths. It should be natural that we get up and move once in a while, besides taking regular walks. It should be a given that we sleep between six to eight hours.

Yet, here we are in the 21st century and have coaches, gurus, and smart self-help books telling us that we should be more conscious about breathing, that walking is healthy, and sleeping is re-energizing.

Wow! Who would have thought!
