Just Breathe

Breathing exercises for stress management is one of the easiest strategies to help one reduce stress levels, and can be done anywhere and at anytime. It allows you to become more in tune with your body which can ultimately improve your overall health and wellness. I have been practicing breathing for stress relief for about a year now and have found that it helps me handle situations more clearly and easily. There are many different techniques out there, its just up to you to find out what works for you.

Abdominal Breathing
1.) To start find a quiet comfortable place where you won't be disturbed.

2.) Get into a relaxed position (laying down on your back is the best way to get the most oxygen into your lungs).

3.) Next put your hands on your stomach and if you feel comfortable close your eyes.

4.) Inhale deeply and slowly into your belly as far as you can go and on the exhale try to push all the air out.

5.) Keep repeating this process and try and keep your mind focused on your belly inflating with your inspiration and deflating with your expiration.
