Episode 197: How I Use My Breath to Find Calm, Energy and Gratitude
byYoga Anita
You’re breathing every moment of every day. But are you actually paying attention?
Our breath can remind us to slow down, reconnect with ourselves, and become present.
This week’s Healthy Tip is all about the power of breath awareness.
Try this simple gratitude exercise:
- Stop what you’re doing.
- Relax your shoulders.
- Take three comfortable breaths.
- With each inhale, think of something you’re grateful for.
- With each exhale, release a little tension.
And remember to tell someone how much you appreciate them!
November affirmation: I am thankful for my body and breath.
What are you grateful for today? Let me know!
