When you’re stressed at work, it’s easy to become completely overwhelmed. When you’re dealing with a difficult client or in the middle of a project where nothing is going as planned, you need a quick and easy way to compose yourself.
As one of the top job agencies in Las Vegas, PrideStaff Las Vegas knows a thing or two about work-related stress. You might be surprised to learn that breathing techniques can help you relax.
Four Breathing Exercised to Find Calm During Chaos
Roll Breathing
Designed to help you use your lungs at full capacity, roll breathing can be completed in any position. Place your left hand on your stomach and your right hand on your chest. Breathe in and out so your left-hand rises when you inhale and your right-hand stays still. Complete this eight to 10 times, then take it up a notch.
At the next level, you’ll keep breathing into your lower lungs, but you’ll continue by inhaling into the upper part of your chest. Take slow deep breaths as you become increasingly relaxed.
Progressive Relaxation
Close your eyes and focus on relaxing every muscle group in your body — spend two to three seconds on each area. Breathe in through your nose and take deep, slow breaths that make you feel calm and at ease.
4-7-8 Breathing
Prepare for this exercise by sitting or lying down. Place one hand on your belly and the other on your chest. Take a deep breath and breathe in as you silently count to four. Hold your breath and silently count to seven. Breathe out while silently counting to eight. Repeat three to seven times until you feel the stress leave your body.
Equal Breathing
Inhale while silently counting to four, then exhale while silently counting to four. If you can handle it, go all the way up to eight practicing this equilibrium technique. When finished, you’ll enjoy increased focus and an overall sense of calm.
