When you feel anxious, you will destroy the ease and flow of your breathing. You may not even notice these minor breathing pattern interruptions and their effects on you. But re-establishing normal breathing can restore your energy and attention.
For this, breathe through the nose five times. It feels like there is a balloon filled with the entire pelvis and stretched in all directions. Keep inhaling for a while, when you exhale, when you exhale, contract all muscles above the spine and count five times. Keep exhaling for a while and repeat 10 times.

It's not just what you eat, it's also the way you eat it. You can eat all the healthy foods you want, but if you don't chew your foo well, it can cause indigestion, bloating and lack of nutrient absorption. The more you chew, the more saliva you produce. Saliva uses enzymes to break down food particles and break it down for better nutrient absorption.
Each time you chew 25 times, you can help develop more mindfulness diets. You eat in a more relaxed state of mind, which helps digestion. In addition, the slower you eat, the less you consume, because the time you give your body lets you know that you are full.

One of the best health tools is at your feet - literally . Grounding, walking barefoot or standing on the ground sounds simple, but how often do you barefoot outside? This may sound like a little hippie, but a review published in the 2012 issue of the Journal of Environmental Public Health found that research supports the benefits of walking barefoot, including improving mood and sleep, reducing inflammation and chronic pain.

Take care of your body's largest organ - your skin. Dry brush is a natural technique that can illuminate the lymphatic system by removing dead skin cells, revealing the beauty of your skin. Dry brushes are also believed to give the skin a natural, bright glow.
To do this, please purchase a natural brush for your doctor. Start with your feet and sweep your heart (avoid your face) for a long time without applying too much pressure. Do not dry the brush for long or too often. Try it once a week.

When you want to get rid of your comfort zone or start a new healthy habit, you must first have a strong intention to do so. As Wayne Dale, author of The Power of Intention, said: "The power of intention is to express, create, and infinitely enrich the power of life, and attract the right people at the right moment." You can set an intent for each action in your life. Before eating, set the intention to eat consciously. Please contact your intent before exercising. Ask yourself, “What are you going to achieve?”

Sunscreens are not only suitable for summer. Dermatologists recommend applying sunscreen every day, because according to the Skin Cancer Foundation, one in five Americans develop skin cancer in their lifetime. Damn! Even if you are not outdoors for a long time, UVA rays that cause wrinkles and premature aging can pass through the window glass. Check the ingredients on the sunscreen and look for ingredients that contain mineral zinc oxide to protect the UVA. If you want to extend it for a while, I (at least two hours) look for SPF 30 broad-spectrum sunscreen with anti-sweat and water-repellent properties.

Western society keeps telling us that we need to do more, do more, do more, and do more. It may be running out and suppressing. Keep your atmosphere high and light by filtering out the noise and being grateful every day. There has been a lot of research on the positive effects of daily gratitude exercises on the mind, body and spirit.
Write down the diary you grateful before going to bed every night or when you wake up and try to write affirmatively in the morning - positive things about yourself and your life. Or write a thank you letter to someone to say how grateful you are to have him or her in life.
