Use 4-7-8 Breathing For Calm
- Practice 4-7-8 breathing to trigger the relaxation response and shift to rest-and-digest.
- Repeat three times before stressful moments to calm anxiety or induce sleep when relaxed.
Breath And Posture Amplify Each Other
- Expansive breathing and expansive posture both occupy more body and temporal space and boost confidence and calm.
- Shifting posture and breath changes how you feel because expansion signals power and relaxation to your nervous system.
Practice Expansive Posture Privately
- Before dreaded or stressful situations, find privacy and make yourself physically bigger in a way that feels comfortable to you.
- Practice expansion in private spaces so you avoid coming across as aggressive around others.
