Wellbeing Wisdom Tiny Bites - Are You Seriously Going to Tell Me to Just Breathe?

Don’t you hate it when things are not going well, and it feels like everything is spiraling out of control around you?

When your brain is spinning is not the time for some well-meaning woo-woo know-it-all to tell you to just breathe, so I’m going to tell you now and tell you why it’s exactly what you need to do. That way, next time you feel that “spinning out of control” feeling, you can override the panic and take control again.

When you recognize that your stress level is rising and your feeling of being in control of the situation is missing, stop. Do nothing…seriously, stop moving. Take a long, deep, slow, inhale through your nose, and then let it out as slowly as you took it in. You can exhale through your mouth or your nose, whichever feels better to you.

Stay still and take a few more long, slow, deep breaths, until you feel your shoulders drop a little and your jaw relax a little. Your body can sense the solution, and you can’t listen to your body’s input unless you stop the spinning inside your head and the clenched muscles that go along with it.

The best way to become the best you is to pay attention to your life with all of your senses, and controlled breathing is how you regain control of your brain.
