De-stressing the Brain

Taking a deep breath helps to de-stress the brain.

De-Stressing the brain is so important.  Everytime we get nervous, or a negative thought enters our brain, a stress hormone is released. There is a fight, flight or freeze response.

As a physical therapist and coach, I tell my clients all the time to breathe through exercise and life's activities.  We take breathing for granted and forget about the many beneficial qualities a deep breath can bring.

Did you know that we possess the best antioxidant and stress reducer right within our own ability to take a deep breath?

When you are finding things tough take time to take a deep breath, count to ten and release it slowly.  This influx of breath will decrease your stress and increase the oxygen to your body adding to a healthier lifestyle.

So BREATHE.  Relax, release, receive, allow.  In breathe you will find the great I AM.
