When I’m busy or stressed out, I tend to unconsciously hold my breath or dramatically slow down my breathing. It takes mindfulness to remember to breathe.
Do you realize how important breathing deeply is? Several years ago, when at a health resort, I took classes on how to breathe. In the beginning, it was a bit baffling to think about taking a 30-minute class on breathing as the focal point. Then I was enlightened. The benefits of intentional breathing are numerous. You’ve likely heard that slow and intentional breathing is the fastest way to calm the mind, it can reduces stress, and it may be linked to lowering blood pressure. Research shows that some additional medical conditions may also improve with an awareness to focused breathing.
Now is a good time to literally schedule some breathing breaks in my daily routine. If it’s on my calendar, it is more likely to get done, and a few minutes is all it takes. Also, with the holidays around the corner, there’s another great reason to be more conscious of breathing deeply. Don’t let the stress of this joyous time of the year get to you. Put emotional guards in place to help you stay present, embrace, and enjoy the moments.
Below are some practical insights and applications of how to breathe easier.
Usage and Benefits of 3 Respiratory Essential Oils
dōTERRA Breathe Respiratory Blend Products – Since being introduced to Breathe and the respiratory products, I’ve been surprised at how much I use them. I’ve never thought of myself as someone who needed respiratory support. Over the years, it really has made a difference to support my breathing at the beginning of the day, middle of the night, or whenever I’m struggling. I’ll rub the oils on my chest, back of the neck, or the bottoms of my feet. I keep either a Breathe Touch or Vapor Stick on my nightstand too.
