The holidays can be a stressful time of year. What is the quickest, least expensive and most effective way to de-stress and relax? The answer is…deep breathing. Everyone can practice deep breathing. Because it requires nothing except you and your breath, it can be done anywhere, anytime. The benefits of deep breathing include immediate relaxation as well as an improved ability to handle stress and to regulate emotions (especially anger). Deep breathing is also proven to help bring our focus to the present moment and promote being centered even in the most challenging situations.
