Deep Breathing

Do you breathe correctly? It seems evident right. The truth is most of us are chest breathers. However, suppose we constantly use chest breathing. In that case, it can make the body tense, as if it is under stress, and may contribute to anxiety, panic attacks, fatigue, and other physical and emotional disturbances. On the other hand, diaphragmatic or deep breathing stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, which is part of the peripheral nervous system responsible for regulating heartbeat, blood flow, breathing, and digestion. Thus, deep breathing helps you lower your stress levels, reduce your blood pressure, and manage the symptoms of conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome, depression and anxiety, and sleeplessness.

Description

Using the Deep Breathing technique, you will learn how to apply Situational Breathing Strategies in multiple workplace scenarios such as:

Calming Breath: During panic or stress situations to get to a calmer state. An example would be hyperventilation due to overwhelmed feeling from imminent or current high mental/physical discomfort.

Instant Focus: When immediate focus is necessary. An example would be starting a physical or mental competitive event, conducting surgery on a patient, and pitching a complex idea to your client or co-worker.

Visualization Breath: Managing performance anxiety. Example situations would be when we are nervous or anxious just before we are about to speak publicly. Often we hold our breath when doing anything mentally or physically taxing.

Sleep Preparation: Right before you sleep.
