Take a Deep Breath!

“Remember to breathe.
It is after all, the secret of life.”

Three Deep Breaths Will Bring You Back...

Have you ever had one of those days when life can feel like a series of never ending tasks? I know I have! For me, it was like I moved through each task awaiting the next. All the while, I was hoping to find just a second to catch my breath.

Oddly enough, catching that quick breath is exactly what I needed. In fact, those three quick breaths helped even more than simply pushing through. Best of all, this will work for you too!

Taking a strong deep breath helps to release the daily stress(es) that deplete your energy, lessen your productivity and stomp on your happiness. Not to mention, it just feels good too!

You will find it amazing just how quickly three deep breaths can get you back on task. It is important to understand that there are several studies that show the innate benefits showing that conscious breathing works. However, when you experience the benefits for yourself – then and only then will you see the difference it makes in your own life.

Choose to make it a daily routine to begin and end every day with three strong, deep breaths. And…don’t be afraid to use this technique throughout the day as well.

1. First, take a breath to become aware – close your eyes and feel your breath moving in and out, nice and slow.
2. Second, take a breath to focus – keep your eyes closed and feel the calm, still balance return to you.
3. Third, take a breath to find a new beginning – still, with your eyes closed, feel that deep connection to your surroundings. Renew by anchoring in on the moment and stabling your emotions. Life IS good, you ARE good, things WILL be better! Feel the breath and the stress leave your body.

Remember, life can ALWAYS BE BETTER!
