Most of us never realize how much our breathing patterns affect the way we feel throughout the day.
If your breath stays high in your chest, it keeps your body in “alert mode,” which can increase tension and make it harder to focus or relax. Shifting into diaphragmatic (belly) breathing helps activate your parasympathetic nervous system, allowing your body to reset and find balance.
This simple change can make a big difference before a meeting, during a stressful moment, or when you need to unwind and prepare for rest.
Take a few minutes today to check in with your breath and notice how this small shift impacts your energy and calm.
