Breathe Slowly, Give Your Heart a Rest

Take a moment to tune into your breathing. Allow your breath to become soft and slow, giving plenty of time for a nice, long exhale. Breathing slowly and in longer intervals allows your body to use less energy to get oxygen to all the cells of your body, and it gives your heart a chance to slow down as well. Since we only get so many beats in a lifetime, it's nice to use them up slowly!

Anytime you think of it, spend 30 seconds breathing slowly. Soon your body will get used to this new pattern, and it will be a natural way to slow down and become focused and efficient, in mind as well as body.
