Breathe the Stress Out of Your Life

 

 

by Jane Powell 

“Stretch and take a deep breath…”

Do you spend a lot of time feeling anxious and stressed? Does your body have its own way of tightening? Do your shoulders feel tense and hard? Maintaining this state for periods of time can do all kinds of unpleasant things to your mind and your body.

It’s essential that you relax and take care of yourself. Here’s how. Have you ever watched a sleeping baby? Babies breathe in and out, with their tummy muscles. As adults, we hold our tummies in, focused on that perfect figure. But, breathing slowly, from your tummy, is the first step to total relaxation.

With that in mind, try this simple escape. Find a comfortable chair in a quiet place and just breathe, in and out, like a sleeping baby or a confident adult. Tune into the rhythm of your breathing. Shun away other thoughts. Within minutes your shoulders will relax, the anxiousness will subside and you will feel the stress leave your body. And, all you had to do was breathe like a baby.

Feels pretty good, doesn’t it?

 

"The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It can be a very mean and nasty place. It will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me or nobody is going to hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit, it is about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward, how much can you take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!"

All you can notice

There are miracles all around you. All you have to do is notice them.

There are plenty of opportunities for moving forward in precisely the direction you wish to go. You simply must allow yourself to notice them.

The world has a way of calling your attention to certain things, yet those are only the things the world wants you to see. It’s up to you to direct your focus upon those things you wish to see.

There are countless things that you can notice right now that no one else has ever noticed. Great fortunes and lives of outstanding achievement have been built by those who notice what had previously gone unnoticed.

Just a little curiosity can spark your interest. Just a little more can uncover all sorts of things that are truly amazing and valuable.

There’s no limit to the abundance you can tap into when you notice that it’s there. Open your eyes, open your mind, be clear and authentic about your purpose, and notice the hidden treasures that are literally everywhere.
