Control Your Breathing, Change Your Life

This air itself supplies me with a century of love. When I breathe in, I am breathing in the laughter, victories, passions, thoughts, joys,memories, existence,moments, and the hues of the sunlight on many tones of skin.

Few question to ponder upon..

• Are you aware of the quality of your breathing?

• How often do you notice whether it’s shallow,short or choppy?

• 3-How often do you consciously pause from what you are doing to take a few deep, full, relaxing breaths?

• Most people do not understand fully how important it is to be aware of your breathing pattern and how that impacts your health, mood, communications, energy and productivity. 

Here’s why....

• According to researches:

• The respiratory system should be responsible for eliminating 70% of your metabolic waste. The remainder should be eliminated through defecation 3%, urination 8%, and perspiration 19%. 

• Average person reaches peak respiratory function and lung capacity in their mid 20's. Then they begin to lose respiratory capacity: between 9 and 25% for every decade of life! 

• Exactly what are the Unhealthy breathing Habits....?

• Most people hold their breath or breathe high in the chest or in a shallow, irregular manner. 

• These patterns have been unconsciously adopted, accidentally formed, or emotionally impressed. 

• Certain "typical" breathing patterns actually trigger physiological and psychological stress and anxiety reactions.

• Here are some Facts...

• When you breathe in your upper chest..

• you activate your Sympathetic Nervous System or fight or flight response, you speed up your heart rate, slow your digestion and stress organs.

• When you breathe in your lower chest towards your abdomen..

•  you activate your Parasympathetic Nervous System and relax your heart rate, and help your digestion, and organs.

• Here is the Tip..

• So, unless you are doing something to improve your breathing capacity, it will decline causing unwanted effects on your health, and life expectancy.  

• Start breathing more slowly and deeper, and let your belly fill up like a beach ball on the inhale, then let it go on the exhale, and  enjoy the many benefits of aware, healthy breathing.

So, from now on Breathe for more Joy..!!
