Finding yourself stressed? It is important to take a break from the daily stress of life. Try this sequence of steps to reduce your stress and ease your mind and even some pain you may be experiencing:
- Find a quiet place where you can lay down or sit relaxed.
- Close your eyes and focus a deep breath in through your nose for about 4 seconds. Focus this breath through your belly - it can be helpful to place one hand on your belly to help cue this
- Hold breath for 1-2 seconds
- Slowly release breath over 6 seconds in a controlled/even rate through your mouth with pursed lips - like blowing out candles
- Feel your belly expand and relax and allow tension in your body to flow out as you perform this
- Relax your shoulders down from your ears, relax your wrists and ankles and let tension release from your body
- Repeat 5-10 times or as many times as needed until you feel relaxed
- If you get lightheaded discontinue the exercise or decrease the amount of repetitions
