stressed out

Clients often ask, what is the one thing I can do to deal with stress. I tell them it is simple, but not always easy — it is breathe. Stress is not held in our bodies if we are breathing in a relaxed manner. When we resist stress by not breathing, we end up creating tension in our bodies.

A relaxed breath is a full breath where your belly, diaphragm and chest are moving not only in the front of your body, but also its sides and back. With each relaxed breath, stress leaves our bodies.
