STRESS MANAGEMENT THROUGH DEEP BREATHING

Learning effective ways to relax may not be as easy as it sounds, but the logic is simple: Feeling stressed and being relaxed are not compatible responses. If one can become relaxed, the feeling of stress will be diminished.

There are many techniques that prove helpful in the removal of stress. Today I shall discuss  most effective and powerful way of Deep Breathing to check the stress. The importance of this technique is:

• It’s easy to learn. No tactic is required.
• It can be practiced almost everywhere.
• This is a quick way to get rid of stress.

Requirement:

• A few minutes
• A place to stretch out

How to practice:

Remember! You have to breathe deeply from the abdomen and shallow breath from upper chest.

1. Warm up yourself by shaking yourself and saying that you know how to control your stress and in few minutes, you will oust it.
2. Sit comfortably with your back straight.
3. Put one hand on your chest and other on your stomach.
4. Now breathe in through your nose. The hand on your stomach should rise and the hand on chest moves little.
5. Exhale through your mouth and push out as much air as you can while contracting your abdominal muscles. The Hand on your stomach should move in more than the other hand as you exhale.
6. Continue to breathe in through your nose and out via your mouth. Try to inhale enough so that your lower abdomen rises and falls as well.
7. Count slowly as you exhale.

Note: If it is hard to do this exercise while sitting up, try lying on the floor. You can put a small book on your stomach instead of your hand.

I am sure you will get benefit to know the actual and easy method of deep breathing.
