For anyone who has lifted weights or played sports, one thing they have always heard is "don't forget to breathe." This makes sense for obvious reasons, but rarely have I ever consciously thought about what that exactly means, and why it can be such a difference maker.
Since we have been doing these breathing exercises in class, I have become more aware of my breathing and the changes that occur due to the situation I am in.
Today I focused on exaggerating my breathing no matter what I was doing and where I was going, and I've got to say...I definitely felt more centered and had a pretty positive outlook on things. This is tough for me to admit because my Mom has been telling me for years that there is a special power to conscious breathing. Odds are that I still won't tell her about this.
