Introduction
Alright, let's talk about a nifty trick to knock stress on its head: deep breathing. Now, I know what you're thinking - "Breathing? That's it?" But stick with me here, because this isn't just any old breathing. It's a method that's easy as pie and can be done anywhere, anytime. Perfect for when life's little (or big) stressors start nipping at your heels.
Deep breathing is like a magic spell for your body
The Deep Breathing Method:
1. Firstly, find yourself a comfy place to sit or lie down. No need for anything fancy, just a spot where you can relax without interruptions.
2. Now, breathe in deeply through your nose, counting to four. Imagine you're filling your lungs with white or golden light.
3. Hold that breath for a count of seven. It's like pressing the pause button on a remote - a moment of stillness.
4. Time to breathe out slowly through your mouth for a count of eight. Picture your stress and worries whooshing out with each breath.
5. Do this cycle four times. Each cycle is like a step away from stress and a step closer to peace.
