Positive news starts with you.

We all know when we’re feeling more positive, we tend to naturally attract and create better things in our life. Conversely, a bad mood seems to feed upon itself, becoming a virtual negativity magnet.

One way to diffuse a bad mood or improve your mood overall is making sure you are breathing correctly. Most of us don’t really take the time to really explore our breath. We just assume it’s “doing its thing.” We don’t realize the interconnectivity of our mental and physical well-being and our breath.

Many of us breathe very shallowly, for example. Take a second to notice how you’re breathing right now. Even if you are breathing slowly, do you feel your breath is restricted to your chest and above?

Practice deep diaphragmatic breaths, ones where you see your abdomen expand. With your outbreath, expel any bad thoughts or negative energy.

A few minutes of good breathing a day can work wonders for your physical and mental health. All you need to do is get back in touch with it!
