Breathing breaks (DW#684)
Yesterday we talked about how shifting our breathing pattern can help us manage our impatience.
Of course, we do not need to wait until we are feeling impatient in order to breathe intentionally.
In fact, a great way to instill calm and emotional regulation in ourselves is to practice taking micro-breathing breaks all day.
A breathing break is simply a reminder to become aware of your breath and to breathe intentionally for a few moments at a time.
You may notice that pausing for a couple of minutes every hour for a breathing break relaxes and energizes you and it clears your mind. The rest of the hour that follows the breathing break will be more focused, productive and pleasant.
So go ahead and set an alarm for a breathing break every hour and notice the amazing impact that it has on your day in terms of calming and focusing your energy.
