So, initial, early(ish) morning, pre-coffee reaction: 'Ok wtf I take care of myself, how will 2 seconds of deep breathing fix everything'

Immediately after checking that response, and reading the article more charitably I like the idea. There's a quote floating around in the motivational/inspirational image sphere that [s]I think[/s] that is attributed to Zig Ziglar

    People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing - that's why we recommend it daily.
I like this quote, because even throughout the day I find myself starting to wallow in some kind of mental downturn, and I frequently benefit from some kind of reminder of my goals/ideals. Maybe that's part of what laziness is, the accumulated mental 'dirt' of a lack of motivation.
