Deep breathing has been shown to lower blood pressure, reduce stress. and lessen anxiety. In fact. a study found a short period of deep breathing can reduce systolic blood pressure by 3.4 to 3.9 mmHg within minutes which means your breath can be powerful to help calm down, training yourself to take deep, slow. and cleansing breaths.

Can you PAUSE today and take three cleansing breaths?

AS MANY TIMES AS YOU CAN REMEMBER TODAY...

  • Pause and take 3 cleansing breaths

  • Give your mind a short rest

  • Notice how you feel... does anything shift?

  • Does your perspective change?
