Happy new week! Monday's mantra for this week is:
"As I consciously breathe in, I take control of my emotions and as I breathe out, I release any stale energy from within"
Today I am focusing on breathing properly. Now if you are reading this you way well be thinking...hello if I wasn't breathing I would not be reading this blog!!! Of course we all breathe, however, often, when we are stressed our breathing becomes shallow and we take more shorter and rapid breaths which culminate in us feeling more distressed and out of control.
Several times a day, consciously take the time to really breath deeply. Breathe in through the nose, a long, continuous breath until you feel it right in your lower abdomen and then breathe out through the mouth, expelling any negative and stale energy that has built up. This is an invaluable technique to use when you are nervous, angry, afraid or if life is just getting too much to cope with.
Your slower, deliberate breathing has a calming effect and releases tension building up in your neck and shoulders and the tightness in your chest will ease along with it.
This is an exercise that is worth practising often.
Love and Blessings,
