Breathe!!! ...when
nervous, anxious, fidgety. Breathe deeply to
regain inner
tranquility. This is how to bust distress!
Breathing
shifts brain waves to calm you down!
When
stressed, we often turn to vices to raise serotonin and make us feel euphoric
~
refined carbohydrates [candy, soda, chips], alcohol, drugs ...ANYTHING to
produce the feel-good brain chemical,
serotonin to escape anxiety. But,
breathing deeply works even better.
Just three deep belly breathes will take
you to a completely different place... and you will like it :)
Here's How
to BREATHE DEEPLY:
You
can breathe deeply anywhere... anytime... Deep meditative breathing
requires you focus on proper breathing techniques.
Allow the fresh air to
fill your belly ...and watch your stomach expand, like a balloon.
Hold it for a few moments.
RELEASE
COMPLETELY.
Compress more air out of your belly than you took in,
originally.
Feel the emptiness of your contracted tummy.
O.K.
Now, start over. That was one deep breathe. Take three deep breathes
for a complete attitude adjustment.
Do you
feel the serotonin coming on? Just
kidding...it takes a few more breathes than that!
Breathing is
the best pill you can take to calm down NOW!!!
Breathing deeply is what
assisted me in busting my eating disorder. And, it has worked ever since to
calm any fears I may have... and every anxiety. Breathing assists you in
changing brain chemistry. Like exercise, breathing also
stimulates the release of neurotransmitters like endorphins, dopamine
and serotonin...
Escaping
reality is not all that bad! Just do it with deep breathing ...or walking. And...what IS reality
...and what IS truly real,
anyway? BREATHE DEEPLY to escape your
tense reality!
The best
part about breathing deeply ~ ...it is EASY & FREE!!!
It gets you out of your head and into the spirit of who you
are!
That is special!
