Today I had the pleasure of meeting Kelly, who taught me something that I will never forget. 4 breaths in – four breaths out. This simple breathing trick – done with your eyes closed, one hand on your heart the other on your diaphragm, is designed to relax your body and reconnect it with your brain.
So often we are distracted by life. Our brains run at 1,000 miles per hour and we don’t often let them reconnect with our bodies. Instead we just keep going. We ignore the warning signs, the little moments where our bodies are trying to tell us to slow down, to pause, to take a moment to relax. By taking four deep breaths in and four deep breaths out and really truly focusing on that moment, we can reconnect the two parts that are so often at war with one another – body and brain.
Next time you’re stressed, anxious, upset or having a panic attack. Pause and remember four breaths in – four breaths out.
