Take a Deep Breath... Comments

Thanks. I needed to take a deep breath just now. I do this on purpose on occasion but not often enough. Thanks for the reminder!

It really helps me to take long deep breaths and make long exhalations throughout the day. Makes a big difference in my day. I am much calmer and can think more clearly. Somehow there is this mind-body connection between the breath, the heart rate, and mental clarity / calmness / stress relief. It's really cool to realize that we can control the way we feel on a moment-to-moment basis regardless of what's happening in the outside world.

You know, when you mentioned what I probably wasn't breathing deeply while reading your article I was like "She's right!" I notice that when I'm working hard I'm not breathing well. I'd like to get into the habit of taking deeper breaths throughout the day. It's so relaxing. But when I get caught in the myriad tasks for the day, it takes all my attention just to not drop the ball on the things I have going on. It's a tough balance.
