Whenever there are uncertain times, or big decisions to make – or course changes of direction that you didn’t predict, it is a good time to start breathing.

If you put your hands in the air and interlock your fingers above your head – you breathe easier from your diaphragm in a nice rich inhale, rather than the short shallow stress breathing that you will take from your chest.  It is a much more natural and nourishing breath for your body and mind.

When you are using tangling to relax, and the worries of your day or the weight of the world is falling on your shoulders and you realize your pen is being held in a  death grip – try this little stretch. A few breaths of five count in, five count out.

Nice and slow.
