Stretching/Yoga/Deep Breathing: Calming the Mind and Body

Hi!

The good news is, if you are stressed, you can calm your body down. Stretching, Yoga, and Deep Breathing are all things you can do to relieve stress. 

My favorite out of all is the deep breathing. I used to not be able to do it easily, but it's easier now. You can start off with 3 deep breaths in and out. You take one deep breath in through both your nose (Should feel it in your head/brain) and mouth (keep your mouth closed, you should feel it through your throat/lungs), then out through only your nose. 

My second favorite is stretching. Although it comes close to deep breathing. With stretching, you can do it in bed. A full body stretch with your arms in the air above your head, and your toes pointing away from your body, like you are on your tiptoes. It is very relaxing. Especially if you have been doing it for a while with deep breathing. They work together. The more it's done, the calmer and at peace I feel.

I don't know a lot about yoga, but if you are doing it and you feel it, add the two above to your routine.
