Are You Breathing?
I’m not joking. For most of us our response to stress is prolonged shallow breathing and actual stopped breath. Just notice right now whether you are breathing deeply or hardly at all. If the latter is true, please take in a deep abdominal breath. Right now. Our shallow/stopped breath is part of our natural fight or flight response. Living modern lives, we have a great deal of intense stimuli. Responding to phones, buzzers, messaging, conferencing, driving and more has us breathing in a ‘defensive’ shallow mode throughout most of our day. It is one of the major reasons we are physically and mentally so tired at the end of the day. We are toxic from not cleaning our circulatory system with good fresh oxygen.
The Good News
My tip for you to try this week is to make a habit of what I call ‘Living on the Inhale”- breathing IN to life’s presenting moments. By noticing and becoming aware of the key stressors that affect you, you can teach yourself to automatically breathe IN instead of holding and stopping your breath when they occur. When you do this you will retain your quick thinking ability longer in your day, you will avoid burnout, and you will stay more resilient and connected to your feelings and intuition for better decision making. Most importantly, you will feel much more vital and able. Take your breath in when your phone rings, when your name is called, when it’s your turn to present yourself in a meeting. Enjoy the rich rewards of “Living on the Inhale.” You will become In-spired.
