I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not realize that every breath matters. 

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not realize that even missing ONE breath in unawareness is not acceptable. 

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to dismiss the suggestion not to miss even a single breath. 

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not even try to not to miss a breath. Meaning, I just give up that suggestion as a joke. 

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not even consider the suggestion “don’t miss even a single breath”. 

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not realize every breath is a gift,  so to dismiss even a single breath is to dismiss life. as life is given breath by breath. so yes, to dismiss a breath is to dismiss life. 

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to dismiss my breathing and therefore dismiss my life as not important because I value my thinking machine more. 

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not realize every breath matters, therefore breathing each breath with awareness here matters. 

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not realize breath-by-breath means each breath must be taken with awareness. I breathe each breath with awareness.

I commit myself to not to dismiss the suggestion to breathe each breath with awareness.

I realize every breath matters. therefore breathing every breath with awareness here matters.

When and as I see myself ignoring even a single breath as unimportant, I stop, I breathe with awareness each breath. In that I direct myself to be HERE as breath. as breath is life.
