Tis the season to be busy in the kitchen!
Looking after no. 1 as we head towards Christmas takes more than healthy food – this month I’ve been learning more about the power of our breathing to calm stress levels – please try the simple exercise below and feel the difference it can make! And if you’re in need of gift inspiration, I’ve put together some wonderful festive offers for you too…
Box Breathing Exercise, mouth closed using your abdomen to in & exhale:
1: Breathe in for four counts, traveling up one side of the square.
2: Move across the top of the square for four counts of holding your breath.
3: Exhale for four down the other side
4: Hold the breath whilst visualising travelling across the bottom of the square. Repeat the pattern
This helps us draw the air deep into our lungs, slowing down the heart rate and stimulating the vagal nerve – the calming and focusing effects of this technique are noticeable within just a few minutes of practice.
Please enjoy these festive offers below!
