Breathing is an anxiety-relieving tool.

Have you ever tried to hold your breath on purpose? It's not a great feeling right?! It adds stress to the body and feels very uncomfortable.

 

So why do we hold our breath in times of stress and anxiety?

 

It's because we formed the habit of 'reacting' to these types of situations rather than responding to them.

 

If we're not aware of the amazing tool our breath is in times of crisis, then we won't know to use it. We'll react to the situation instead by constricting our body and restricting the breath.

 

Let's talk a little bit more about the breath and it's relation to anxiety.

 

I believe there is no separation between mind and body.

Deep Listening: When you're listening to another person speak, notice whether you are really present and listening or whether you're trying to formulate your next sentence even before the person speaking finishes theirs.

When you're in a conversation with another person, are you truly listening with your whole being? With your physical senses and total mental capacity?

Or are you listening more to the voice in your head. The voice that is telling you to 'give your opinion about it, make sure you come up with something good to say, don't sound stupid' etc.

Can you recall a time when you felt really listened to? When you knew in your gut that the other person got you? Now recall how good that felt.

If you want to give someone a special gift, give them the gift of listening with your whole being........heart, mind & soul. To the receiver, that will truly be a precious, cherished gift.

Try it in your next conversation...........and of course if you'd like to share,  I'd love to hear all about your experience!
