Simple Breathing Exercise
Breathing plays an important part in stress management. Although we have been breathing since our birth we still can improved it with practice. If our lungs are better oxygenated consequently the general health improves. This means a larger quantity of life-giving oxygen being carried into the blood, carbonic acid gas is got rid of out of the system, benefitting all the organs of the body thereby; lassitude being replaced by a feeling of vigour and general well being.
Repeat this four times in succession; then wait while you mentally count to thirty, breathing in and out gently in your usual manner. This simple exercise will help improve your breathing and will help you to relax.
