Do you take a breath in and
suck in your belly and lift your shoulders and exhale and push out your
belly? If so that is shallow breathing.
Take a moment and practice some deep belly breathing.
It is good for your body and you will strengthen your transverse (inner
most abdominal muscle) and your diaphragm.
It will also help you to relax and is a great de-stresser. And one more
benefit..there are many. You will be helping the elasticity in your
lungs.
Ready?
Sit with your back supported so you shoulders are in line with your hips.
Don't arch your back and don't round forward.
Put you hand on your belly over your belly button.
Take are in thru your nose and fill your belly up with air.
Your belly should expand with air.
Don't lift your shoulders.
Exhale thru your mouth and pull your belly into your spine as you get rid of all that air in your belly.
Do that 10 times. Try to do that throughout the day.
It might take some practice but you will get the hang of it.
Your body will thank you and so will your mind.
Just breathe.
