Breathe as you walk…
"He who half breathes half lives." - Ancient Proverb
Being in a relaxed state is important to achieving
optimal performance in anything you do-
so it must be useful for we cancer thrivers!
The person who is mentally and physically
relaxed, in a state of 'quiet intensity' is the one that
is going to come out well from anything.
One way to achieve this quiet intensity is through
breath control or better known as Focused Breathing.
Focused breathing helps to maximize your energy
intake, while keeping the mind "in the body" and
clear of distracting, self-limiting thoughts. This
is a natural relaxed state of peak performance.
Here's how it works:
The breathing cycle for this exercise is divided
into three parts, each part getting a set number
of counts:
Inhale (2 counts)
Hold the breath (2 counts)
Exhale (4 counts)
Once you're comfortable with this method, you can
attempt to apply it to your activity. As an example,
for walking (excellent tip this one):
and as the great philosopher Nietzsche said 'ONLY IDEAS WON BY WALKING HAVE ANY VALUE'..SEE THE CREATIVITY AFTER DIAGNOSIS FORUM FOR MORE ON THIS
Inhale for 2 steps
Hold for 2 steps
Exhale for 4 steps
Ultimately, you want to find a pace and count that
you can maintain and that feels natural. As you
become more adept with this technique, try and
increase your counts while keeping the same ratio.
For example, inhale for 4 counts, hold for 4 counts,
exhale for 8 (or 6, 6 and 12). Experiment and find a
combination that works well for you.
You'll feel more centered, grounded and calm to
better handle your task.
Why?
There's no way you can think about yesterday or
tomorrow when you're concentrating on your
next breath. This is what ‘inspired’ means at root--taking in the breath…
the body’s ‘brain’ knows how to do this automatically, and by helping it through
focused breathing you get to that state of ‘quiet intensity’...
this will powerfully help you to achieve optimal performance in anything you do…
and try this easy way to grow a little bit more each day, using your breath...
