Think about it, how often do you really breathe in so deeply that you fill your lungs and expand your chest as well as your belly? For many, it may be never! Deep breathing will help you focus your mind and relax.
Take a couple of minutes, close your eyes, and feel your breath as it comes in through your nose and then exhales out through your nose.
As you continue to breathe, eyes closed, slowly inhaling and exhaling, start to count. Inhale through your nose . . . One, two, three, four . . . exhale through your nose . . . one, two, three four. It’s really interesting that as you count, your mind cannot focus on anything else.
