Take a Deep Breath!
Research shows the effectiveness of using simple breathing techniques to help alleviate stress and anxiety, as well as building immunity and healthy lung function.
In fact, taking slow, deep breaths can calm the vagus nerve, improve brain function and help oxygenate your body for increased physical health, as well as mental and emotional clarity.
Be sure to check with your doctor first if you have a medical condition such as asthma, COPD, or any other lung or heart issue.
Deep Breathing Techniques - click the links in blue for more information.
4-7-8 Breathing: A very simple technique to gain instant calm! Use before bed or whenever you feel stressed. This is one of my personal favorites.
Alternate Nostril Breathing: An ancient yogic skill to lower heart rate and improve cardiovascular function.
Diaphragmatic Breathing: Helps to slow breath rate, oxygenate your body and use less effort and energy to breathe. As a trained singer, diaphragmatic breathing helped me build lung capacity and breathe more deeply.
Breathing Apps: Yes, there’s an app for that! Check out this list of easy to use apps for your smartphone to remind and guide you in taking a deep breath whenever you need it.
Stay safe and be well!
Warmly,
Wendie
