Positive Thinking for all

Good morning friends.  Reading is one of my hobbies. It’s good to always read because from that you will learn many things in real and even you can apply what you have read.  I read one article in one magazine.  I’d like to share it with you.  I’m sure it will help you a lot and even with me.  I tried to do it and it gives me positive result.

 

We all know to breath, but are we really getting the most from each breath we take?

 

Many of us inhale too shallowly, particularly when we’re stressed or tired.  These high, fluttery breaths only make us feel more anxious.  Gay Hendricks, Ph.D., author of Conscious Breathing advice to many people to take a moment and look at their abdomen.  If the belly doesn’t move, expanding in and out, then you’re not doing it right.  Sure enough the belly was hardly moving.

 

Slow yourself down to four seconds of breathing in and four seconds of breathing out, Hendricks said.  All it takes is three of those nice, slow breaths, and your stress quiets down.  To calm down even more, the reset button or doing four-second in-and-out breaths, but then pausing when the breath is out of your body until you need to breathe again.

 

Taking four seconds to breathe in and four-seconds to breathe out meant that you needed to stop what you was doing and concentrate, which was difficult at first.  You sill feel a glowing sense of refreshment that eased the tension and anxiety.  This is so easy to do and unobtrusive enough that you can do it anywhere. - Sandi Khan Shelton
