Keep it simple, don’t overthink it, just slow down your breathing and let yourself feel calm. You can use your breathing to start and end every day, you can use it if you feel anxious, stressed or overwhelmed, you can use it if you have discomfort or pain. It just gives you chance to slow down and to be still.

Notes For Parents – Relax & Breathe

Published by

You have been directed here from your Notes For Parents email. Here is a short Relax & Breathe exercise… It is really easy for tension to creep into your body when you are busy, rushing around or feeling stressed and under pressure. We often don’t know it is there and I find that when I do my relax & breathe sessions, so many expectant parents say they didn’t even realise they were tense. You can fit this in every day – it is simple, quick and effective and it is a great way to give you a bit of balance as well as to something just for you. My relax & breathe techniques are something that you can spend time doing and you can also benefit from using them for a few minutes wherever you are.
