Breathing is free🖤Self-care for the heart

Have you been able to breathe lately?

I couldn't rest even though I was tired

I'm tired.

Even though I think that, for some reason I can't rest.

Have you ever had that experience too?

My body feels heavy.

I don't feel refreshed even when I wake up in the morning.

Things to do keep coming up one after another, and my own needs are
put on the back burner.

I guess that's what being a mother is.

But where are you in all of that??

Pretending not to see your own suffering is dangerous😒😒😒

If you felt even a little bit like, 'That's me,' then you are not
resting!!!!!

The first thing I was taught in yoga was not poses, but

breathing

When you hear the word yoga, what kind of image
comes to mind?

• Something for people who are flexible

• Something that involves difficult poses

• Something for health or dieting

The yoga teacher I met

told me, 'Let's start by just feeling our breath.'

'Huh? Breathing?'

I thought, 'Hmm? What?' but as the teacher said,
I gave it a try.😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

Slowly inhale and expand your belly~~ slowly

Little by little from your mouth,

exhale while pulling your belly in~~

Oh no, that was hard.

Have you ever consciously tried breathing??

You haven't, have you...?

At that moment, I thought, 'Wait, was I not breathing properly?'

I was confronted with it (>_<)

It is said that when people get nervous or anxious,

their breathing becomes shallow.

Focus your attention on your breathing

You should try it too😌😌😌😌

When breathing becomes shallow, the heart also feels distressed

Something like 'my chest feels tight'.

Could this chest pain be an illness?

There were times I thought that.

No way!! To think the cause was in my breathing...

I never imagined it.

Especially when you feel that way, just spend one minute on your breathing

and focus your mind🌻🌻🌻

If you stay tense for a long time, your body will also become stiff.

And your breathing will become shallow too.

A repeating vicious cycle.

First of all,

let's prioritize exhaling!(^^)!
Try to make it longer than the time you spend inhaling★★
　　　　　　　👇
It's the Usako style, but inhale through your nose,

and exhale little by little through your mouth

and you'll be able to do it well!!

Don't try to change yourself, just bring your awareness to your breathing.

The importance of 'here and now' that deep breathing taught me

I used to be a "where-am-I" Usako😔😔😔😔

My heart was somewhere else.

Like an endless maze, I was constantly worrying💦 and feeling down💦

Even though blaming the past changes nothing...

Yesterday's breath is no longer here!!

And tomorrow's breath isn't here either!!

All that exists is the "here and now"

Just the breath of this moment

When we have worries, we immediately try to find an answer.

Of course, that is important too.

But you don't have to force yourself to find an answer, do you?

Just try breathing for now, isn't that enough?

Focus on what is here right now.

I think that is enough.

Breathing is mental care that anyone can do

When you think,

"I want to calm my mind," what comes to mind?

• Going on a trip

• Going to a concert

• Going to eat something delicious

• Buying things you like

Hmm, that's nice😍😍
But, but, it costs money and takes time...

That is exactly why I want you to cherish it.

"Breathing."

It costs no money, age doesn't matter,

it doesn't matter where you are, even while working,

I want you to cherish the breathing you do every day

This is Usako, who wishes you well.

A simple breathing habit I continue every day

Having read this far, aren't you thinking this?

"I understand that breathing is important.

But what should I actually do?"

For those of you who feel that way, I will share the

simple breathing habit I continue in my daily life.

I also started with just one minute at first.

The important thing is not to do it perfectly, but to

keep doing it 😌😌🌻😌😌

When you wake up in the morning, first take a deep breath

Before looking at your smartphone...

Inhale slowly~

And exhale slowly~

About three times.

That's all.

It creates peace of mind.

Breathing before going to bed at night

Once you get into bed, stop looking at your smartphone,

close your eyes, and breathe.

Inhale slowly,

exhale slowly.

About three times.

That's all.

Please give it a try (*^▽^*)
