Mindfulness

Mindfulness is a technique that helps individuals to become more aware of their thoughts and feelings, allowing them to be more present in their day-to-day lives.

Bringing your attention to the moment allows you to experience the joy of the moment or deal with the challenge or discomfort of the moment. It contrasts to becoming cut off or withdrawn from life, pushing through the days on automatic pilot.  Mindfulness is associated with positive mental health.

The Sigh Breath

If you feel anxious you are over breathing,

​

Your fight or flight response requires additional oxygen in your bloodstream to fuel it. 

​

Bring awareness to your breath with the intention of slowing your breathing down. 

​

Slowing your breathing down slows the anxiety cycle down by normalising the oxygen levels in your blood stream and helps you on your way to  calm.

​

You can do this by practicing the Sigh Breath for managing anxiety.
