Stress Relief - Part 3 of 3

Looking for a simple, healthy way to help get through the day? Try breathing! Being conscious of your breath is a wonderful and effective way to reduce stress, maintain focus, and feel energized. Exhaling fully is one breathing exercise worth practicing – it can promote deeper breathing, better health and a more relaxed state of mind.

Give it a try: Simply take a big, deep breath, let it out slowly, and then squeeze out a little more. Try inhaling as much as you can, slowly, and then exhale all the way.

Doing this regularly will help build up the muscles between your ribs, and your exhalations will soon become deeper and longer. Start by performing this exhalation exercise consciously, and before long it will become a healthy, unconscious habit.
