Breathing to Regulate
Think of your breath as a key barometer for stress. By choosing to ensure your breath is regulated you are purposely responding from a harmonious state rather than reacting out of anger, fear, or any type of discomfort. By consciously regulating your breathing, you can switch from a state of stress to a more harmonious state.
HOW: Any time you feel conflicted STOP and wait until you can regulate your breath before continuing. Feel your feet on the floor, soften your shoulders and jaw, ‘I choose to make my body comfortable and respond better.’
MAKE IT A HABIT: Check your breath hourly – has it sped up and got shallow? If so, gently nudge your exhale to be a little bit longer than your inhale and take slow deeper inhales. You could even close your eyes and take yourself on a mini vacation in your mind to a beach or forest for a couple of minutes as you consciously breathe to regulate your breath.
If you do this practice for two minutes x 15 times per day that equals 30 minutes a day of stress relief!
Warning: You may notice side effects like sleeping better, feeling more relaxed and peaceful!
