While many studies look at temporary boosts to the immune system immediately after exercise, this study, published in the journal AJP-Cell, found these changes occurred even a week later, suggesting that the changes were long term.

❓Do breathing exercises work?

🧘In one word: YES!

They can help you get rid of stale air in your lungs, increase your blood oxygen levels, and help your diaphragm do its job helping you breathe.

Here are some benefits of breathing exercises:

✅Helps with depression, anxiety, and stress
✅Manages symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome
✅Can help you sleep better
✅Lowers your heart rate and blood pressure
✅May help with PTSD symptoms
✅Improves stability of core muscles
✅Helps you tolerate intense exercise
✅Slows your breathing rate so you expend less energy

Have you noticed a difference after doing breathing exercises?

🔥For me this month it’s all about getting rid of things standing in the way of me and my goals.

Back to school is always a hectic time – new routines, less time for meal prep, more demands on my schedule, more decisions to be made causing “decision fatigue”...

So I put my focus on determining what I *could* control, what I *couldn’t* and I decided to let some things go.

I’m a recovering perfectionist (anyone else? ✋) so I’ve gotten better about trying to do “all the things” and instead focus on setting up my schedule so I don’t take on too much.

Some days are hit or miss but *most* of the time, I’m hitting the mark.

This past week, before I stopped myself and said “Caitlin – you need to S-L-O-W D-O-W-N”, I noticed I was feeling pretty stressed – tighter neck and shoulder muscles, my digestion was off, sleep wasn’t as restful, my breathing was more shallow (less deep, diaphragmatic breathing).

So I took steps to put myself more into parasympathetic “relaxed” state and less in sympathetic “flight/fight/freeze” state.

My goal is to be as present as possible. Becoming more present was life-changing for me – it was a 180 degree shift to become more aware in my own life.

I had spent most of my teens and 20s always worried about one thing or another, regretting things from the past, or feeling “less than” others.

Once I discovered how I have to be intentional about being fully present in my life, things shifted and I felt lighter.

Life seemed to “get easier.” I felt “less stuck.” I realized I’m just as worthy as the next person.

As a mom and wife, I know the importance of putting on my oxygen mask first – otherwise I have less energy to give and I burn out fast.

Right now, I’m doubling down on doing things consistently that help me feel my best. Like my daily walk, eating nourishing meals, getting to bed on time, and petting my cat🐈 (LOL).

When I start to feel stressed or overwhelmed, I stop, take some D-E-E-P breaths, become aware of where I am, and repeat silently to myself “Breathe… breathe… breathe…”
