Do you have anxiety daily? Do you go through depressive episodes that does not feel like it is getting better? People with anxiety may also have the following chronic issues: -Chronic Pain -Irritable Bowel Syndrome... -Obesity -Eating Disorders -Fibromalagia -PTSD You might want to consider training your respiratory system to assist in resolving these chronic issues. When experiencing a traumatic event, the brain unconsciously go into a "Startled mode." This means that the jaw starts to clench more often and the muscles feel very tense. What is also interesting when feeling anxious is that the bodies breathing rate accelerates. The movement and oxygen (fuel) mainly comes from the chest, not from the belly. Thus, not optimally receiving fuel/energy into the body to endure stressful moments. Not having enough fuel leads to feeling sluggish and tired most of the time. Luckily, training the respiratory system can help increase your daily energy so you can recover from the low days. Enjoy the sunshine this week! There are bright & happy days ahead!

One of the greatest gifts you can do for yourself is to understand that any skill can be trained. Seriously, any skill that you can imagine yourself doing, can improve, if you put the time and effort in it. Professional athletes are people who are amazing at their "craft". You might think they are naturally talented or gifted. But if you think about it, they have put in the time and effort to the point where it seems automatic and effortless to them. Whereas, it is most li...kely they had challenges at the beginning stages of learning the skill. This is due to the process of neuroplasticity. Our brains rewire connections in order to be better at that skill. Whatever your craft is or whatever skill you want to improve in, just make sure it is something that brings you joy in doing. If you haven't discovered that skill that you want to be better yet, that is ok. Browse around and try something new. Or better yet, hire a coach who has the expertise to teach you how to perform the skills. That way, you can continue doing that skill for a lifetime. Want to learn more about the skill of running?
