In the midst of the chaos - between bills to pay, permission slips to sign, cupboards to fill, and texts to respond to - it’s no surprise you sometimes feel like there are too many tabs open in your computer and in your mind.
In the midst of chaos, take a moment to center your life with the ideas below.
Start your morning right – check out a website that will inspire your morning
Surround yourself with an atmosphere that helps you replace negative beliefs with uplifting thoughts.
Harness your positive energy - begin a gratitude journal.
Focus on mindfulness and the present moment with a breathing exercise.
Long breath - Lengthen your exhale
Inhaling deeply may not always calm you down:
1. Inbreath actually be linked to the sympathetic nervous system, which controls the fight-or-flight response.
2. exhaling is linked to the parasympathetic nervous system, which influences our body’s ability to relax and calm down.
When we feel anxious or under stress, it’s easier to breathe too much, too quickly and with sympathetic nervous response
Try inhaling for four seconds, then exhale for six.
Try doing this for two to five minutes.
Change your thoughts:
Surround yourself with a thought that helps you replace negative beliefs with uplifting thoughts.
Harness your positive energy by relaxing
Focus on mindfulness and the present moment with the breathing exercise.
Practice a positive affirmation: I feel safe (let go of feeling overwhelmed to see clearly).
