Confidence Tip: Just Breathe
September 13, 2010 by .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)Sometimes the simplest tool is the one that is most overlooked and underutilized. Give it a shot… what have you got to lose except all that stress???
Research has shown that 3 cleansing deep breaths turn on the relaxation response and turn off the flight or fight response. So when you’re feeling stressed just remember to BREATHE… Inhale 1-2-3… hold… Exhale 1-2-3 and repeat. It’s like sending a signal to your brain… it’...s OK… I’m safe and all is well.
Here are some of the benefits of deep breathing:
- Reduces stress
- Promotes better sleep
- Increases energy
- Quiets racing thoughts
- Relaxes muscles
- Releases endorphins - the feel good hormone
