How to Practice Deep Belly Breaths
- Find a quiet and comfortable place to sit or lie down.
- Place one hand on your chest and the other on your belly.
- Inhale deeply through your nose, allowing your belly to rise while keeping your chest relatively still.
- Exhale slowly through your mouth, feeling your belly fall.
- Repeat this for several minutes, focusing on the rise and fall of your belly with each breath.
Take a Breath Break
Next time you feel overwhelmed or stressed, take a breath break. Close your eyes, focus on your breath, and engage in deep belly breathing. It only takes a few minutes to reset and recharge.
