Clinical Corner
One of the most effective ways of coping with stress is by using your breath. And the best part is you always have it with you! Here are 4 breathing techniques to try:
Breathing in Affirmations: Breathe in and say “I am…” Breathe out and say “calm” or any other word that would be helpful at that moment.
Breathing in the Positive, Breathing out the Negative. Example: Breathe in Peacefulness, Breathe out Stress….Breathe in Confidence, Breathe out Doubt.
Spell your Name: With each exhale say a letter of your name until it is completed. The longer your name, the more relaxed you might be!
Paced Breathing: Count to three on your inhale, count to 6 on your exhale. Or use any number combination as long as the exhale is longer.
“Breath is the power behind all things. Your breath doesn’t know how old you are; it doesn’t know what you can’t do.” -Tao Porchon-Lynch
