Control Your Breathing

Control Your Breathing 

  ______________________A Stress relief tip________________________

Stressful situations lead to short and shallow breathing,which in turn leads to an increased heart rate and creates feelings of tension and anxiety. To reverse these effects and reduce your stress, completely empty your lungs with a large sigh. Then, breathe in deeply from your belly on up, hold your breath, and exhale slowly. 

You may want to follow the 4-7-8 rule. (4-second inhale, 7-second hold, 8-second exhale.) This simple exercise sends better oxygen content to your cells, improving your health and ridding yourself of the tension and stress.

"If you want success, then don't rely on other people to do what YOU can do!"
