Breathe in, Breathe out

Things have been awfully busy lately for me - and I imagine for most of you too. I wish I had more time to pray but I keep falling asleep instead...so I have been trying to pray using "breath prayers." This kind of prayer is really simple, but really helps to center me - all you do is find a short phrase that can be easily divided into two short parts and then you say the first half as you breathe in and the second half as you breathe out. Doing this over and over a few times usually helps me feel connected, centered or less anxious. Try it sometime...here are a few phrases but you can make up your own too:
Come Holy Spirit (in)/give me peace (out)
May all end/in good and blessing
All will be well/all will be well
Gracious Lord/have mercy on me
