Create Positive Change One Breathe at a Time Things may not be the way you want them right now, but you can do a lot with what you do have and where you are at. Just breathe! I’m going to keep this week’s post short and simple. Learning to breathe the RIGHT way is so important for your body and mind. Diaphragmatic Breathing is when you allow long, deep breaths to come in and out of your diaphragm, not from your chest. To illustrate this lay on your back and put one hand on your chest and the other on your stomach. Now breathe in through your nose and out of your mouth. You should feel the hand on your stomach rise and fall, NOT the one on your chest. If you are breathing correctly, you will be able to take nice, slow and deep breathes in and out of your diaphragm which will slow your heart rate down, allow you to call your nerves, push blood through your body more efficiently and, all around, make you feel better. This week I want you to practice Diaphragmatic Breathing once a day, at least, for 1 minute. Take that time just for you. If you want to really go for it, do this exercise whenever you feel yourself getting frustrated, angry, or afraid. Spend time just practicing this breathing and really slowing down your life in that moment, even for just a minute. Let me know how it goes and what changes you start to feel as the week progresses. You might be surprised at the mental and emotional benefits you feel from doing this just once a day!! Oh, and enjoy some baby goat love, too!❤️ As always: Be Healthy, Be Happy, Be YOU!! much love, Angie
