Great way to ease stress for yourself and your pets in less than a minute

Did you know?

One way to help yourself (and your animals) right NOW during the Coronavirus scare is to simply limit your stress.

How?

It’s easy: Try deep breathing.

When done right, deep breathing can help lower blood pressure and provide an almost immediate sense of calm, according to the Mayo Clinic.

Which can reduce stress and help protect your immune system.

And it only takes a minute to do.

Breathing deeply and slowly sends a message to your body (AND your animals) that “all is well,” even when the world outside is frantic…

This is my fav!

A simple, effective form of deep breathing is “box breathing,” with 4 parts of equal length, like a box.

Try it now.

Watch this and follow along.

Breathe in for 4 seconds.

Hold your breath for 4 seconds.

Breathe out for 4 seconds.

Hold again for 4 seconds.

Repeat up to 4 times total.

That’s it.

Please give it a try right now. Just do it.

…

I’m waiting… and breathing with you…

…

Did you do it???

How do you feel now?

Better? A bit more peaceful? More present? A little clearer??

You’re welcome!

Tip: Put this email in a safe place and refer back to it every time you’re feeling stressed.

It’s a proven way to feel better fast.

Stay safe. Be well.

BIG hugs and much love!
