Breathe

💨BREATHE💨 //

To take air into the lungs and then expel it, especially as a regular physiological process.

Deep diaphragmatic breathing (marked by a long, slow exhale) is 🔑 to stimulating vagal nerve activity.

Healthy vagal nerve tone is indicated by a slight increase of heart rate when you inhale and a decrease in heart rate when you exhale.

The ability to reduce your heart rate and blood pressure during times of stress/anxiety can be directly linked to being conscious of your breath throughout the day.

Are you aware of your breathing habits during the day?
