Breathing to Reduce Stress

Life is full of stress and overwhelming demands, and finding time for self-care can be a challenge. That's why we're excited to introduce you to a quick and effective stress-relief tool backed by scientific research: the Micro Breath.

The Micro Breath, also known as the physiological sigh, has been studied extensively and proven to physiologically decrease stress and anxiety while increasing a sense of calm. And it takes less than a minute!

How it works is that you take a big inhale through the nose, pause for about 1-2 seconds, take another quick inhale, then finish with a long, open mouth exhale. The second inhale “pops” open the alveoli (little air sacks in the lungs) that collapse when we get stressed. When they’re collapsed our oxygen levels go down, carbon dioxide levels go up, which also triggers the stress response. The long, extended exhales get rid of large amounts of carbon dioxide while also stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system, which is the brake pedal to the stress response.

Alright, it’s time for action! Do 1-3 of these in succession to change your physiology and improve your wellbeing.
