Seven Steps to Self-Care

Tip #2: Take five, slow deep breaths, inhaling through you nose and exhaling through you mouth. Try to inflate you lower lungs as you breathe. When we are under stress, we tend to take shallow breaths. Slow deep breathing will help lower your stress and enhance your mood and concentration. As you breathe, you can meditate, pray or simply enjoy a quiet mental space.
