How Breathing Differently Can Make You Happier
Breathing is something we all do, yet we rarely pay attention to it. Imagine if you could change your mood, physical condition, and mindset just by breathing differently. This article will show you how.
The Power of Breathing
"When you breathe, you inspire. When you do not breathe, you expire." ?" Quote from an 11-year-old's science exam.
John Grinder, co-creator of NLP, discusses the link between respiration, physiology, internal state, and high performance, calling it the chain of excellence. I recently explored a book by Osho, the non-conformist mystic and guru, who suggested observing your breathing pattern when you're sad. He explained that replicating this pattern can re-induce the sad state, but fortunately, it works the other way around too.
Breathing Exercises to Enhance Your Mood
Exercise 1: Recognize Positive Breathing Patterns
When you're in a positive state, pay attention to your breathing rate. Notice the timing and rhythm of your in-breath and out-breath.
Exercise 2: Apply Positive Breathing in Neutral or Negative States
When feeling neutral or negative, adopt the breathing pattern from Exercise 1. Within a minute or so, you should start feeling more positive.
Make Breathing a Habit
Many gurus advocate regular breathing exercises. Tony Robbins, in his book Unlimited Power, suggests starting your day by inhaling slowly and deeply, holding for twice the time of the inhalation, and exhaling at double the pace. It’s an invigorating way to boost motivation for the day.
Exercise 3: Deep Breathing
Begin by breathing deeply but comfortably, in through your nose and out through your mouth. Imagine breathing from just below your belly button. Inhale for a count of 5 and exhale for a count of 6 for at least 2 minutes. Notice the calming effect.
Exercise 4: The Breath of Fire
Although a bit unconventional, this exercise can be powerful. Lie on your back and pant like a dog, breathing rapidly in and out through your mouth 20 times. Then, breathe slowly and deeply through your nose 20 times. Repeat the mouth-panting, followed by nose-breathing. Observe the effects.
Embrace the Benefits of Breathing
Breathing deeply can help you manage change, such as weight loss, quitting smoking, or building confidence. Most people don't breathe deeply enough, so try it and notice how much better you feel.
Enjoy experimenting with these techniques and discover how great you can feel by simply changing the way you breathe. Remember to use common sense and consult a health advisor if you have respiratory conditions.
Start breathing differently and find your path to happiness.
