Well, here I sit… there is so much do! Â My list is far to long for the hours of this day!
We all have lists, we all feel overwhelmed!
I struggle with migraines so stress is NOT helpful. Â One time a friend asked me if I could just try a bit harder to relax. Â HA! Â As if I wasn’t trying!
I had to laugh, and yet, maybe she had a point?
I have since tried to work in more playtime and breathing time (believe me, it is a work in progress).
So right now, I am going to find a quiet corner and breathe. Â
I encourage you to try it!
- Breathe in a slow, long breath – count to 4
- hold at the top – count to 4
- then breathe out slow and long – count to 4
- hold at the bottom – count to 4
- exhale – count to 4
Some people call it four-square breathing there are probably other names, too.
With each new breath you increase your count. Â This gives you power, the power to calm.
You really can do this anywhere and the more you do it, the better.
I have been doing it as a type and my heart rate has slowed.
This helps!
My list is still too large, but my mind is clearer and calmer…
