Tuesday, Dec 04, 2012 Marydale’s Thought for the Day – 12/04/12
Set your intention to take three brief three-minute breathing breaks today. Set your smart phone or other mobile device at three even intervals to alert you. At that time, stop whatever you are doing and exhale completely. You may sit, stand, close your eyes or not. Just don’t move, be still. Begin simple two-part breaths in and out through your nose. Slow, easy, even breaths. Feel the cool breath moving into your nostrils, traveling into the chest, ribs and belly. Exhale from the belly, ribs, chest and then out your nose, where the breath has become warm. Continue the process for three minutes (which you have set up on your timer). When complete, rest for a moment, feel refreshed, calm. Resume your day with renewed energy and focus.
