You are holding your breath for way too long
There are so many important things
Let’s finish them first
Then breathe in a relaxed way
But the work keeps growing
You keep going in the focus mode where you want to finish as much work asap
You continue to rush with work and hold your breath because it feels wrong to breathe normally when so much is going on!
Finally when you are done for the day in the evening time, you try to come to normal breathing
But because your day has been so stressed
You forgot how normal feels like
Does it happen to you as well?
This is holding stress in our bodies
This is being so much in our head we forget we are a living soul- which needs time, space and lots of care
How to manage this stress on your body:
Step 1 become aware of where you are- are you here in this moment or far away in the ‘work mode’ mind?
Step 2 if you are in the work mode mind, come out of it firstly, try to focus on your breath
Step 3 repeatedly focus on your breath for a few minutes, try again till you FEEL you are HERE
Step 4 look at what is right in front of you, bring your awareness to it
Step 5 take a moment to appreciate this moment
Step 6 look around at the beauty you see- window, people, food ; anything around you
Step 7 feel your body relax as you bring your focus to your breath (step 2 and 3) + as you bring your awareness to this moment (step 4)
Repeat this process as many times you want in the day- to destress yourself
It doesn’t have to be hard, don’t make it hard.
It is within your reach to get better, for YOU
Shift your mindset, change your life
