How are you feeling
right now?
A little tense,
perhaps? Maybe the opposite, kind of drug-out and lethargic?
Here's a suggestion:
Check your breathing. If you're slouching in a chair or flopped
on a couch, taking in little shallow sniffs of air, your body
may not be getting the fuel it needs to perform up to par.
Think about it:
Your brain needs oxygen to fire itself up. Your body needs oxygen
to burn the energy it needs to function properly and keep you
feeling good about it.
Try this: Sit
up straight. Breathe deeply, now, into your stomach. Hold it
for a count of four. Now blow it out through your mouth as though
you were putting out a candle in front of you. Do it again. And
again.
Now breathe in
through your nose, and count one, two, three, four. Now exhale.
Notice a change
in the way you feel? You should, and you will.
Not especially
a high-powered motivational exercise, maybe, but a good way to
get motivated when you're feeling deflated.
Just tell
your troubles to blow!
