RECENTLY I LEARNED "Your body is your gym", and about an individual "who ate air", which I found thought provoking.

I just read from a book called Health Notes that "Deep breathing exercises are like having a portable gym."

Relaxing with deep Breathing. You can use deep breathing techniques to manage your stress before it sends you to the kitchen or vending machine. Deep, full, slow breathing can relieve physical tension while it clears and calms the mind. Learn to NOTICE your BREATHING pattern. When you feel anxious, rushed or "stressed out", use a deep breathing exercise to relax and calm yourself. With practice, you'll find deep breathing is a skillful way to manage your stress level, your moods and eating.

INTRODUCTION TO DEEP BREATHING:

This exercise teaches you the basics of deep breathing. Breathe in and out using your stomach muscles. Abdominal breathing is much deeper and more REVITALIZING than chest breathing. Use the techniques learned in this exercise whenever you do any deep breathing.

1) Inhale slowly though your nose as your stomach expands.

2) Continue inhaling, allowing your chest to expand.

3) Hold your breath for one or two comfortable seconds.

4) Exhale slowly and deeply through your mouth, relaxing your chest and stomach.

5) Repeat steps 1-4 several times.

Practice deep breathing three or four times a day until it becomes a ready tool you can use anywhere, anytime, to relieve anxiety or stress.

P.S. Slept very well last night which is also good for the Energy. Towanda!!!
