Combat stress with breathing

In many ways, we know what we should do to combat stress are creeping into our lives, and this both theoretically and practically. Thus, the physical movement of weapons is a key to coping with stress, followed by proper diet (lack of vitamins and minerals may be strongly related to stress symptoms) and overall a healthier lifestyle based on consumption fruits, vegetables and milk, and at least seven hours of sleep every night.

Yes, I know that for most people, so something is simply an illusion. A way of life is also difficult to maintain, just because of the many requests we part so the service, and home. That happens sometimes that we face puseuri nerve, which put them all on account of stress. They can occur in two situations: either (mostly) in a context of tension and maximum tension or seemingly "suddenly", when nothing would announce this.

In both cases, can prevent or remedy this inconvenience, but with the breath. Inhale and exhale deeply and slowly. When the air reaches the lower end of the lungs, pulse is slow, blood pressure decreases, muscles relax and mentally plans will see, in very short time, an obvious rebound.

This accumulation of positive impacts will be far greater if you take into account one detail: Get used to practice abdominal breathing, and not the chest. Chest breathing, we have the natural reflex strained pectoral muscle, leading to increased respiration rate and, consequently, the lack of oxygen to the brain. By contrast, the abdominal breathing, the entire body receives optimal intake of oxygen.

You should take example from babies who have abdominal breathing reflex, but as they age, lose the habit. Breathing is the only organic function that we perform at both consciously and unconsciously.

Several studies abroad have shown that many women who practice conscious breathing even ten minutes a day of face time with far fewer annoying headaches (caused mostly by stress) and also shows and considerable improvements to the chronically ill.

Therefore, when you provide a few minutes of respite, isolate yourself in your office, sit comfortably on a chair with eyes closed and practice abdominal breathing. Ideally if you could you imagine how air enters your lungs and reinvigorates the body. To achieve maximum effect, do not need other external incentives (teas, scented candles, essence of lavender). Of course, they have their role, but in the present case we are referring more to improve the effect and less the case.
