This post is about #breathing for #stress relief! A long time ago while I was taking a #martialarts class, our instructor got after us adults for holding our breath. I looked into this a bit as to why or how did we get like this. Babies breathe properly. Watch them while they are sleeping if you have the opportunity. Their tummies rise and collapse. This is how we are suppose to breathe. How we got away from that technique I still have no idea. In my therapy sessions, I consistently have to inform clients to breathe! Doing so increases oxygen to their muscles that I am trying unknot and they will be less sore after a deep tissue #massage. Up ahead are other benefits I found or conjured up myself. Deep breathing can rid respiratory issues! ( Please breathe clean air😘). Deep breathing in an essential oil like #peppermint will increase #oxygen levels by 30% more! This will perk your #brain up and give you more mental #clarity & #energy -natural pain killer- releases endorphins, the feel good hormone -blood flow- diaphragm moves up and down promoting blood flow -better posture- filling those lungs will straighten you up! -reduce inflammation- deep breathing creates an alkalinity in your body.helps reduce inflammation. Stress increases acidity in your body! Cancer likes acidity,not alkalinity - #Detox- carbon dioxide (natural #toxic)out, #oxygen in. Shallow breathing makes other detoxification system work harder making us weaker and susceptible to illnesses 😬 -digestion- calms nerves. Increased blood flow- we digest better -poop 💩 better.

" It can be so terrifying and stressful to live up to someone's idea of how one should live at life; rather be brave and take your time- all the time you need to be yourself " I am really glad to come across this much needed message. What I got from it - this was a reminder for me that being me and what I do and will be doing in the future will take time . In the mean time, life will always present itself as a training ground. So, perhaps this is applicable to "you" as well. Don't despair.😥 Keep working. Everything has it's own timing !!❤ @dinakhayal @merylbrand @mantramagazine @wellwithyoursoul @aquestwellness #encouragement #motivationalquotes #happier #affirmations #professional #wellness #wellnessfromtheinsideout #Healthcoach #wellnesscoach #massagetherapy #cranialhealth #alethia https://www.instagram.com/p/B0871EqBoFk/?igshid=mzb9jjxpxa0p

As I have gotten older, I confess to you that I have noticed that I "whine" or complain way too much. And all my life I have battled a spirit of timidity; off and on, mind you , but too much of this really. God grabbed me when I was young- this is a very good thing for my fellow humans as only God and myself know my thoughts and this mind of mine can be cryptic and vile. It is a pleasure to be continuously broken by God the Spirit as He builds my character. - this is needed to lead and care for people. I have also been given this new chapter in life , this from a desire and curiosity along with circumstances, that have grabbed my attention a long time ago but always ignored. The opportunity for personal growth and a grand humbling was granted me 7 + ylears ago and journeyed to presently and I hope will keep going. I say this with conviction because I am now responsible for people's function- survival and wellness. #wellness is more than #nutrition - #food. It is finding your #joy in chaos. Wellness is #spiritual . A #lifestyle. More- you understand... You are the whole package. And you will not be wholly #healed one without the other. I cannot open your eyes for you to take responsibility for your #health. I #believe, truly, that this is God's doing #perspective PS. I cannot be a slave to #socialmedia . Hence the breaks in absence. It's for my #sanity Y'all 🤔😜 https://www.instagram.com/wellwithyoursoul/p/BwSFvlgHH-7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=56dc4eb7eej4

It's been while since I posted !! Things have been hectic and crazy and not so much in the worst way this time, which I am very grateful for ! I finally got some #dailydevotional sit down time. #bestill God's spirit says. Not so easy !! #dayofrest is for our #spiritual #emotional #physical and #mental #wellness and time of #reflection and rest in God's "arms" to whom it may concern. All of the above makes sense when you just be still for a while. It all comes together and produces a better human being. The quotes are from Oswald Chambers. He only lived a short while. What a mind ! I welcome Spiritual discipline and #perspective because I feel I need to consistently be broken in the Spirit in order to grow my character. Sooo much work 🙄 This is for everybody's benefit 😉 not just mine Hope you enjoy the post ! ☺ #wellnessfromtheinsideout #aquesttotalwellness #healthcoach #Alethia #soulfood https://www.instagram.com/wellwithyoursoul/p/Bvjb_3Rn9Ju/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=vojhg2uqwfx5

#burrito Very basic. This is my first time making a taco meat filling . Also wanted to be creative with the other fillings. Only had turkey breast and had to cut up, then make the sauce. Other bases are quinoa and #traderjoes kale and broccoli slaw. Not bad https://www.instagram.com/p/BsWr0N7ndsa/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=18sipl4udgkz3

#rest It is difficult these days for me to just stop and rest for a bit. And even though our cities in Florida do have surrounding nature, I rarely stop ling enough to enjoy it. This is no good !! I was going to walk on and not sit, but a beautiful bench beckoned me. I heard a clicking or soft knocking sound and I turned around and saw a young #woodpecker pecking away at a branch she'll have to come back to. The video is the other view I got to observe. This bird ( I forgot what they are called) caught a fish. I am glad I stopped today # wellnessfromtheinsideout #aquesttotalwellness #nature #beautifulday #peaceful #wellnesscoach #wellnesscoaching #integrativenutrition #alethia https://www.instagram.com/p/BriYYxen1JN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=o5fpsrg47dbt

Made me some #boba #tea !! In #tennessee my cousins @gwenkunselman introduced me to this... I was hooked and knew this would be a habit leading me to a possible financial ruin ! So soon I will be a boba #connoisseur 😁 This batch of tea is Rose tea, brewed straight from small roses, no black tea added. I prefer coconut beverage but had to use almond beverage. I am not a fan of heavy cream, but I can take it if I have to ! #alethia #wellnesscoach #splurgeabit and #enjoy https://www.instagram.com/p/BrV91qbnMOq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=12742jlp2uxp5

#food #experiment #2 Okay, so I finally cooked up my blue cheese - n- breadcrumb chicken. Pan fried in coconut oil. Cool #veggies added to keep me honest 🤔😝 cooked carrots and sweet potato from the night before, and cucumbers. Mixed a dressing with the blue cheese mustard and gyoza sauce for a little food flare. Yum ! Side note, as I wrote this post I absent mindedly kicked off one shoe and balanced on thevother leg, moments later finding my shoe outside- my mom's puppy stole it. I think my Kitty George tried to tell me 🙄 https://www.instagram.com/p/BrBYcxaHMEw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1cgmsox36nd4l

#food #experiment !! @traderjoes #bluecheesemustard and #organic #breadcrumbs I already soaked these chicken cuts in lemon juice. Then patted them off. Mustard one side, put in crumbs. Mustard the other side , crumb it.
