The power of box breathing, also referred to as square breathing.

A deep breathing technique that can help bring mind and body in sync. It works by distracting your mind as you count to four, calming your nervous system, and decreasing stress in your body.

Try this;

1. Inhale slowly to a count of 4

2. Hold for a count of 4.

3. Exhale slowly to a count of 4.

4. Repeat until you feel your heart rate slow down.

It is a simple method that acts like a flipping a switch that shifts our nervous system from fight or flight state to a rest or digest state. Allowing the mind and body to return to harmony.

Journalling helps to live a life to be proud of.

A journal isn’t going to solve all your problems.

But it can help you learn more about yourself.

How to start?

Start off by listing three things that you’re grateful for.

These can be small things like a walk in the park, a delicious cup of coffee, or good weather. You can make a list or write full sentences.

Including details may help you relive the positive moments of your day.

How did the sunshine feel on your face?

What feelings did the smell of coffee bring?

Allow your hand to write, do not over think the process it will flow.

Do you know your values?

Your values are like a compass guiding you to make decisions which are in line with what you believe in.

The misalignment of your goal and values can make hitting our goal a struggle.

The Values workshop guides you through the process of identifying and exploring your values.

You may notice your thoughts, feelings and emotions. You will get to know yourself better.

Living in line with your values creates an awareness for change - you have the power to make that change once you are aware of it.
