Are you feeling stressed lately?  Are you breathing deeply lately?  Breathing is the easiest and fastest tool to calm your nervous system in a few deep breaths.  I'm taking you a step by step how you can use your breaths to relax your mind and body at the same time and reduce your stress instantly.  Stress is a bodily reaction and signals to you by saying, "We (your body) are working very hard to respond to your fear, anger, worries, and trauma triggers to keep you safe from whatever you think it is attacking you from."  So all you have to do at the moment of feeling stress, you can switch the signal to your brain by slowing and deepening your breaths.  

This simple deep breathing exercise can reduce your stress/anxiety level in a few breaths, and more you practice it, you gain more control of your mental, emotional and physical reactions to the stress factors.  You see, everyone is living under some sorts of stressful environment, but not everyone gets knocked out by stress and some develop further illnesses, diseases, and dysfunctions.  The difference between those two groups of people is a skill to relax their nervous system on demand.  That's all that is, your body will do the rest for you, but first you have to give your brain a cue that you want to chill and relax instead of reacting to every stress trigger in your life.  

Happy breathing!
