Summer is fun, relaxed and generally a pretty easy going happy time...if you're eleven. With hectic schedules, the kids home from school, work not letting up, house guests overstaying their welcome and plain old stressful life stuff, how does one balance it all and still kick back and enjoy the season in the sun?
For those moments when you just can't seem to relax, try The Sigh Breath, a powerful way to manage anxiety and get rid of the shoulder tension that comes along with it. It's probably the last thing you want to do when you're on the verge of a nervous breakdown, but—we promise—it'll help. It has the power and capability to squash the little things and helps you to appreciate the important stuff. So, why not at least give it a shot?
The Sigh Breath:
- Start by breathing through your nose slowly and evenly.
- Pause for a moment, then sigh as you exhale slowly and deeply through the nose, lengthening the exhale (more than normal) and relaxing your facial muscles, jaw, shoulders and abdomen.
- Pay attention to the natural pause after each exhale. Don't think about breathing in—it will happen naturally.
- Sigh as you exhale through the nose.
- Repeat as needed, then enjoy your day in the sun!
