One way to seize the power of your last breath

The reason for this post is to think about that last breath and the power we have now to enjoy being alive.

Working in the hospital, especially on the code response team you see many things. Over the years, that is what happened to me, at the bedside with many people taking their last breath got me to thinking we better seize the moment now.

What if you smiled during your last breath?

In reality, the last thing that happens is exhalation. Then it is over. Why not smile with the last inhalation?

A family member passed over at home; I was told they had a smile on their face.

Things are never so bad you can’t smile. I know there are pain, emergencies, and suffering. Unless that is happening to you at this moment please smile and feel the difference in your body.

Smiling and taking in a deep breath at the same time, feel alive.

Through research we now know a brain releases chemicals, your own pharmacy and the key is a smile. The neurotransmitter chemicals make you feel good, such as, dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins. This all makes you feel better.

Smile now

We only get so many breaths on this planet and then it is over.

Did you know others smile just seeing you smile at them?

Make peace with those around you and get on with your life; how can that not make you smile? Smiles are contagious.

Added note: Smile no matter what your crypto is doing. When you take your last breath you won’t care what it is doing.

I'm still smiling. It does make me feel better even when things are tough

That is when we need the smiles.

Such wise words! My partner died last year. It meant so much to me to see him smile as he left.

Oh, that so beautiful. Thank you for sharing this with me. I see him smiling now in my mind. Sorry for your loss.

It was one of many gifts that he gave to me. We were alone and I was holding his hand and whispering words of love.

Such a sweet but sad goodbye.

The smile is very contagious, it is a great medicine. Many times when we are depressed or have difficulties and we have someone accompanying us and making us laugh, it is very comforting. We had a good time.
The smile conveys calm and confidence.

you are right it is very comforting :) for you a :)

Aha! A fellow hospital worker, I always like that ;)

Yeah last breaths, it still remains a special moment to be with somebody when this happens. We should smile more, life is worth smiling for!
