6 Simple Breathing Exercises to Help You Manage Stress
Summary
Breathing is essential for life, providing vital oxygen to our organs. Typically, adults breathe 12 to 20 times per minute, while children have a faster rate. Though a natural reflex, breathing can be consciously controlled to reduce stress and promote relaxation. Here are six simple breathing exercises to help you unwind and find calm.
Breathing Basics
Breathing is an automatic action that ensures oxygen circulates throughout the body. According to Wikipedia, adults inhale about 500-700 ml of air with each breath, whereas babies may breathe up to 40 times per minute. On average, a 14-year-old takes around 30,000 breaths per day. Through conscious practice, deep and controlled breathing can become a natural response during stressful moments.
Six Breathing Exercises for Relaxation
1. Get Comfortable
Whether standing, sitting, or lying down, ensure your position is comfortable. Inhale slowly through your nose for a count of four, deeply enough that your body feels expanded.
2. Hold and Release
Hold your breath for another four counts, then exhale slowly through your mouth for a count of eight.
3. Repeat and Expand
Repeat the process, allowing your tummy to expand with each inhale. Do this for nine cycles.
4. Deepen Your Breath
Place one hand on your stomach and the other lightly on your chest. Breathe deeply so your tummy rises. As you become accustomed, try to inhale even further, filling the tops of your lungs.
5. Equal Inhalations and Exhalations
Aim for equal inhalation and exhalation lengths of eight counts each, without pausing in between.
6. Release Fully
As you exhale, focus on releasing air first from your chest, then your tummy, to enhance relaxation.
By practicing these exercises regularly, you'll find it easier to manage stress and enjoy moments of relaxation throughout your day.
