Relaxation: Simple Breathing Exercise

March 25th, 2012Clipped

I've been out of hospital a week now and I remember the doctors telling me before I left that relaxation was good and stress was not. I've been taking it easier than normal this week but I realise that I need to compensate using other tactics. I gave this breathing exercise a try today (thanks to +Mitch Joel for posting about it) and I found that it really helped, so I'm going to carry on doing it morning and night and whenever I feel stress brewing.

If you decide to give it a go let me know if it helped. I'll check back in next week on this topic and let you know how the week went.

Clipped (see link below):

This is the 4 ? 7 ? 8 breathing exercise:

Step 1: breathe out. Let it all out.

Step 2: breath in through your nose and fill your belly with air (let your belly push out) for 4 seconds.

Step 3: hold you breath for 7 seconds.

Step 4: release your breath slowly through your mouth for 8 seconds. Make sure that your tongue is resting behind your top middle teeth and you should pucker you lips and make a "blowing out" sound.

Step 5: repeat this 4-6 times.
