Find Your Zen: Slower Breathing for Stress Relief …
… is your work very stressful? Are you maybe even afraid that you burn out?
Psychologist Roderik Gerritsen highlights the incredible benefits of slower breathing in managing stress levels. Slower, mindful breathing activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which promotes relaxation and recovery, and might help you achieve greater mental flexibility (source).
If you want to embrace this practice and have a calmer, more satisfying New Year, start by practicing slower, deep breathing at quiet moments. Aim for about six breaths per minute at the beginning (ten seconds per breath). You can slow the breathing even further as you get more comfortable with a lower pace.
Once comfortable, use this technique in stressful situations, focusing on exhaling longer than inhaling. Remember, allow your belly to expand as you inhale.
Incorporating this simple habit into your daily routine can help you stay healthy, slow the aging process, and lead a longer, more balanced life.
