Empowerment Moment: Breathing to Refocus

Breathing to Refocus [Be a Rockstar]

· Breathing helps relax the body. In fact, when you hold your breath for a period of time it replenishes your oxygen levels and give your body a much needed boost of oxygen and regulates your stress levels. This can help you refocus in challenging situations and if you’re freaking out about something.

· There are two types of breathing techniques I can recommend:

1. The 4-7-8 breathing technique involves:
breathing in for 4 seconds, holding your breath for 7 seconds, and exhaling for 8 seconds. Repeat as many times as you need in order to feel relaxed.

2. The “Lazy 8” method involves:
tracing a number 8 while controlling your breathing, while you trace your finger around one loop of the 8 you inhale, and as you trace the other loop of the 8 you exhale. Repeat as many times as you need in order to feel relaxed.

POST IT NOTE: I will take a moment to just BREATHE
