Our breathwork focus this week is on Diaphragmatic Breathing, a technique that promotes deep, healthy breathing by engaging the diaphragm. 🌱✨

🔍 What is Diaphragmatic Breathing?
Also known as "belly breathing," this technique encourages breathing deeply into the abdomen rather than shallowly into the chest. It activates the diaphragm, allowing more oxygen to enter your body and calming your nervous system.

Benefits of Diaphragmatic Breathing:

- Boosts relaxation and reduces stress
- Improves oxygen flow to the body’s tissues
- Enhances core stability and posture
- Helps manage anxiety and nervousness

🫁 Place one hand on your chest, the other on your belly, and feel the difference as you breathe deeply. 🫁

Breathe with intention and share the benefits of this simple yet profound practice with a friend. 🌬️

1️⃣ Breaks the stigma: Talking openly about mental health encourages understanding and acceptance.
2️⃣ Improves well-being: Managing mental health boosts our ability to handle stress, make healthier choices, and build meaningful connections.

Box Breathing involves inhaling, holding, exhaling, and holding again, all for equal counts (e.g., 4 seconds each). It's a great practice for finding balance, especially during stressful situations. Think of it as a "reset" button for your nervous system.

Benefits of Box Breathing:

- Reduces stress and promotes relaxation
- Improves focus and concentration
- Balances the autonomic nervous system, helping regulate heart rate
- Increases lung capacity and breath control

Add Box Breathing to your daily routine this week to experience a greater sense of calm and clarity. Take a moment, breathe in for 4… hold for 4… exhale for 4… and hold for 4. Repeat and reset as needed!

Tag someone who could use a moment of calm in their day.
