Deep breathing exercise and stress management

by Kerry

I use this deep breathing exercise for stress management.

I get myself in a comfortable position and:

1. inhale through my nose and count slowly to 6 filling my lungs from the bottom up.

2. I then exhale slowly through my mouth - again counting to 6

3. I do this 10 times.

I find that when I get stressed that I breathe quickly from my chest and sometimes even hold my breath.

I find that this belly breathing and counting to 6 is a great stress reducer for me.

By the way...love your site.

All the best
