Create Breathing Minutes

For 30 Days try this ‘breathing minutes’ exercise 10 or more times a day. For a minute at a time, practise diaphragmatic breathing whenever you are waiting for something. Remember, you don’t need to be standing or lying down.

You can do this whenever:

• You are stopped at a stoplight
• You are on hold on the phone
• You are waiting in line at a store
• You are watching the commercials during a television show
• You are waiting for the microwave to heat some food
• You are waiting for a friend at work or school
• You are waiting for the computer to boot
• You are waiting for the teacher to hand out the test papers
• You are waiting for an instant message or a phone or text message
• You are waiting for a meeting to start

While this suggestion requires you to be mindful, the results are worth it.

You will feel calmer, and less stressed throughout the day.
