Practice Deep Breathing!

Don’t underestimate the value of deep breathing during your day. Practice the daily habit of taking 2-3 regular deep breaths at a time. Begin by inhaling for a count of 3-4 seconds, and then exhaling for a count of 4-6 seconds. A regular practice will clear your mind, decrease tension in your muscles, decrease stress and increase energy.

Breathe!

Breathe and Move!

Stressed out? When you’re stressed out breathing becomes shallow and muscles become tight. Eliminate stress from your body and your mind with these actions:

Inhale for 2-3 seconds pulling your shoulders up to your ears.

Exhale slowly for 3-4 seconds pulling your shoulders down and back.

Repeat 3 times.

Next head out for a 5-10 minute power walk. Move your arms as you walk and turn over your legs quickly. Walk your hallway, your office, your complex or around the building. A brisk walk forces deep breathing. Deep breathing is where muscle tension is reduced and stress relief happens. Enjoy!
