A quick de-stressing technique<\/h3>\n

The following simple 6 steps help you get control over your body\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s autonomous nervous system, reduce anxiety and deal with stress.<\/p>\n

\"Businesswomen<\/a>1.<\/strong> Stop what you are doing right now, sit up straight, look upwards, and take a long deep breath.<\/p>\n

2.<\/strong> I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m sure that you already feel more relaxed and you probably wanted to smile. The word \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcinspire\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 comes from the Latin inspirare<\/em> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c to breathe into.<\/p>\n

3.<\/strong> Now hold that straight-back position and put one hand on your stomach and the other on your chest.<\/p>\n

4.<\/strong> Start breathing in more deeply, so that you can feel your stomach push out on your hand with every breath in, and go back when you breathe out.<\/p>\n

5.<\/strong> Continue to take slow deep breaths, counting slowly to five. The breaths should push your stomach out first and then lift your chest, filling your lungs full \u00e2\u20ac\u201c which our normal shallow breathing never does.<\/p>\n

6.<\/strong> To release maximum tension, whisper the word \u00e2\u20ac\u0153relax\u00e2\u20ac\u009d \u00e2\u20ac\u201c or say c-a-l-m with every exhale.\u00c2\u00a0Or you can simply elongate the sound of the letter \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcM\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 as you breathe out \u00e2\u20ac\u201c a technique charmingly called bumble bee breathing!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As few as 8 deep breaths will help you reduce stress and anxiety.<\/p>\n

If you have a challenging task, you can couple this exercise with visualising the task ahead of you. The combination will strengthen your psychological and physical readiness for the challenge.<\/p>\n
