As a wellness coach, one of the best things we can do for our bodies is to control stress... YOUvitalize family... here’s how!During these uncertain times, anxiety can set in. Train your brain to “deactivate” your sympathetic nervous system (the part of your brain that causes stress by increasing stress hormones like adrenalin and cortisol) with the 5-5-7 deep breathing pattern. Here’s how:
🦋get in a quiet comfortable spot
🦋close your eyes and gaze at the back of your eyelids
🦋one hand on your chest
🦋one hand on your belly
🦋deep breath into your belly for 5 seconds (feel your hand on belly raise)
🦋hold your breath for 5 seconds
🦋blow out all of your breath for 7 seconds
🦋Repeat 10-15 times. This patterned breathing will active your PARAsympathetic nervous system which is the rest/relax part of your brain.
🦋great breathing pattern to combat insomnia too! ... See MoreSee Less
