Accelerated RELAXATION
Easy Quick breath :
3 short deep inhalations- sniff, sniff, sniff.
and
1 long and slow exhalation – with head high but humbled- shoulders back – make room for the new.
Do it again.
Do it again. (Be careful: it’s natural, free, and WILL envigorate and relax at the same time!) Could be addictive!
Do it again and slowly now both on the inhalation and exhalation.
SLOW DOWN – it’s okay! Listen to music you love, dance around just for fun, get back to work refreshed from your short break, or simply return to the tasks at hand! Remember your life is your choice – really! How you respond to what happens is one-hundred percent your decision.
Before any response to circumstances get oxygen to your brain. The brain needs fifty percent more oxygen to make the best decisions. It’s available any time you choose to breathe mindfully. It is a very positive secret weapon in times of high stress.
