We've been breathing all our lives, surely we are doing it right? 

Breathing is something that we do automatically without even thinking about it. It is an essential function that allows us to take in oxygen and expel carbon dioxide, which are both vital for our body's proper functioning. However, breathing can also be a powerful tool for managing stress, anxiety, and other mental and physical health issues.

There are many different breathing techniques that you can use to improve your overall well-being. One of the most popular and well-known techniques is called deep breathing. This involves taking slow, deep breaths through your nose and exhaling slowly through your mouth. It is a simple yet effective way to calm your mind and reduce stress.

Another breathing technique that can be helpful is called box breathing. This involves inhaling for a count of four, holding your breath for a count of four, exhaling for a count of four, and then holding your breath for a count of four again. Repeat this cycle several times, and you may find that you feel more relaxed and centered.

In addition to these techniques, there are also specific breathing practices such as pranayama, which is a fundamental aspect of yoga. Pranayama involves various breathing techniques that can have a range of benefits, including reducing stress, improving lung capacity, and promoting relaxation.

Breathing is something that we can do anywhere, anytime, and it costs nothing. So why not take a few moments each day to focus on your breath and incorporate some of these techniques into your routine? You may find that it makes a significant difference in your overall well-being.
