Breathe

While we normally don't think about something that is automatic, such as breathing, we might consider the health benefits of focusing on it more!

Stress causes us to constrict, our posture and our breathing. Oxygen is critical to our cells. Lack of it can reproduce danaged cells, free radicals, that can eventually cause disease.

Try to develope the habit of checking in on your breathing throughout the day. Take a few minutes to stop and take a few deep breaths. In times of high stress, this can actually lower our heart rate and blood pressue and help us focus better.

If you feel out of sorts, try imagining yourself as a big, strong, sturdy tree, with roots reaching deep into the earth, creating a sense of being grounded.

Remember to breate through your belly first, then up through the chest, expanding the lung more fully and exhale more deeply.
