Mindful Breathing

Chronic stress has a debilitating effect on all aspects of our lives, including our academic performance, our interpersonal relationships and our physical and mental health. One way to combat chronic stress is to incorporate wellness practices into your daily life. Mindful Breathing helps to promote a healthful mindset so you can cope with emotional and physical challenges. By engaging in mindful breathing it will help you to reduce the stressors in your life and allows you to harness your own ability to respond to emotions and illness in positive ways. Mindful breathing is a self regulation strategy that allows us to observe our breathing more closely without responding or reacting to it. It teaches us self compassion so we can be less reactive to our emotions. This gently enhances our feelings of self control, resulting in a powerful feeling of contentment that can improve our physical and emotional health.
