I've lost the battle again!

This year it's only between me and my daughter.

My son has lost interest in the festive season.....apart from the presents of course!

Your breath.  It's the one thing you can count on.

It is your constant. It is your Energy Life Force. Breathing nourishes your body.It sends red blood cells filled with oxygen to your organs, your skin and it also heals and repairs injury.

How else can breathing help you?

Stress, overwhelm, fatigue are all too familiar for a lot of people.

With family life, work, exposure to constant information through our phonesand more we can soon get weighed under with the pressures of the day.

Thats when mindfulness becomes a good practice.

Mindfulness is the awareness of ourselves inside and out.

Thich Naht Hahns famous phrase describes mindfulness perfectly

"Paying attention on purpose in the present moment."

There are ways to regulate your nervous system when you are feeling stressed, anxious or nervous and self soothing is one of them.
