Breathe
呼吸 means to breathe, breathing or breath in Chinese characters, old Korean Hanja, and Japanese Kanji.
These two characters mean to exhale and inhale. Maybe this will remind you to “just breathe.”
Inhale
吸入 is a Chinese, Japanese, and old Korean word that means inhale, inhalation, or to breathe in.
吸 by itself can mean to inhale or suck in.
入 means to enter (in this case, the body), so it clarifies that this is the true inhalation of air into the body.
If you need a reminder to breathe (slow down and take a deep breath), this may be the word you want hanging on your wall.
Life in Every Breath
shēng huó zhōng de měi yī cì hū xī

This phrase is more like “every breath in life” as if it's a quantity of breaths that makes up your life.
