2014—Are you ready???
For massive change
It’s here---our time is NOW.
2013 was a
year full of challenges. I did not find it to be a particularly comfortable
year. I have been confronted with some painful realities. Maybe you have too.
What’s great about that is it gives you a starting point.
We all make
mistakes at times and sometimes it’s not easy to get back up & start again.
While it may
not be easy, it can start with something as simple as your breathing.
The next
time you find yourself thinking in a less than useful way, take a minute to
check in. Put your hand on your stomach just under your ribcage. Inhale from
your diaphragm to a count of 3—you’ll feel your stomach expand under your hand.
Once your belly fills then take more air into your lungs. Control the exhale
for another count of 3. Once the air leaves your stomach, try to pull it in
towards your spine. Expel all the air you can.
Do this a few more times and focus on the air filling your body. After
that, use a 5 count inhale & exhale. Each time you breathe you’ll feel your
belly expand a little more. Then go to a 10 count. You can take it to 15 or 20
too. The key is to control the inhale & exhale.
This simple
practice accomplishes a few things. First of all, it will change the balance of
your blood gasses which is incredibly useful when you are changing states. It will also put your focus on something
sensory-based. It puts you “back in your body” and puts you in the “here and
now”.
Whether you
want to get rid of some habits that are no longer useful to you or work on a
“performance state” or increase your success in your career or any other aspect
of your life, the time is NOW.
