Practice this Neutral Heart-Focused Breathing Technique when you’re reacting or stuck in a negative view of a situation.

Focus your attention in the area of the heart. Imagine your breath is flowing in and out of your heart or chest area, breathing a little slower and deeper than usual. 

Suggestion: Inhale 5 seconds, exhale 7 seconds (or whatever rhythm is comfortable). 

As you do Heart-Focused Breathing, tell yourself, “Take out the drama,” and ask yourself, “Do I really want to drain energy over this?” and “What if there is more to the picture than I know at this time?” Asking yourself these questions from a sincere heart can help you shift into balance more quickly and be open to new information.
