Yesterday I had a patient.
He has COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease). They have to be given oxygen so they can breathe properly.
Our lungs are just like a water cup. You cannot put in good oxygen if you do not remove the carbon dioxide.
It’s the same thing with a cup. You cannot put in good, clean water if you don’t remove the dirty water inside.
So I recommended for him to do breathing exercises.
Same thing with our lives.
You cannot pour from an empty cup. In order for you to get good water, you have to dump the dirty water out.
If you feel stressed out or anxious, and you’re having a difficult time taking care of your loved ones, you need to dump it out.
Life is just like that. There will always be difficulty.
