Ok, now that you have invited gratitude into your life, how do you feel? I hope some positive things have come into your life and I really hope that your life has turned around for the better.

With that being said you may now notice that the negative and stressful times are more enhanced. With a more positive shift into your life, the hard stuff may seem even more pronounced. Thats where Deep Diaphragmatic Breathing comes in. Again it’s simple, easy and free to do. Let’s give it a whirl.

Breathing, the easy way

You know when you get stressed or angry and don’t really know why?  Breathing can help you figure it out.  Deep Diaphragmatic Breathing can bring you back to center. It can help you get back into the moment and you can start to understand the reasons for your feelings.

How to Use Deep Diaphragmatic Breathing

  1. Take a deep breath in through your nose, filling your belly up like a balloon. Then breathe out through your mouth.
  2. Take a deep breath in through your nose, expanding your rib cage. Then breathe out through your mouth.
  3. Take a deep breath in through your nose filling up are upper chest. Then breathe out through your mouth.
  4. Now take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your mouth, filling all 3 areas up. Repeat 10 times or as many as are necessary to get centered.

Now that you’re centered, let’s get to the bottom of it

Ok, now you are back into the moment how do you feel? Clear headed? Are you able to be in control of your emotions? Can you sit and think about why your feelings are so out of balance? If so, let’s get into figuring it out. If not, keep breathing until you are ready.

Sit in the moment and ask yourself why are you stressed/frustrated. What’s coming up? Trust what your first thought is; if  it resonates with you, we need to go and ask more questions until we get to a final solution. The next question you will want to ask is, why? You will get an answer.  If it resonates with you, trust that this answer is the truth.  If the answer doesn’t seem to make sense, do some more DDB and get centered again and continue to ask the question; why? Until you find an endpoint. Keep trusting the answer that comes up is the truth.

Again, it’s so simple that you might be thinking it can’t be right. But the truth is thtat life is simple. And when you get back to simplicity your life becomes less stressful and a whole lot easier to manage.

Let’s continue to move forward with ease and spread the love and light.

Thanks for being here. Until next time,

Kristin

Wake Up with Gratitude: 5 Things You’re Grateful For

Wake Up with Gratitude: 5 Things You’re Grateful For

The quickest, easiest and cheapest way to change your life is Gratitude.

Just think about it; when you hold a door open for someone and they don’t say thank you, when you let that car in during traffic and they don’t wave thank you, you might get annoyed or pissed off, you might muddle under your breath. You may feel this way because gratitude in life matters.

Gratitude is the Attitude

Just give it a try.  Say thank you to the next person you see. How does that make you feel? Did you notice if their body language changed? If so you’ve just made a positive change for you and that person.

This slight increase to your mood will help spread that positivity to more people and situations. The other bonus is that that person will feel validated  so they will also spread that gratitude going forward in their day. What an amazing experience. Something so simple, and so easy to do, can make such a big change.It’s pure joy!

Start Your Day with 5 Things You Are Grateful For

Let’s try a quick and easy exercise. If you need to put a sticky note on the bathroom mirror or tie a ribbon around your finger, this exercise will be worth the reminder, I promise.  Here we go:start your day with 5 things you are grateful for.

It doesn’t matter what the 5 things are. It only matters that you start your day with thanks. This will change your life for the better. Commit to doing this daily for a week. Then try 2 weeks. Better still, commit to this daily exercise for 21 days (this is the amount of time you need to form a habit) and make note of the positive things that enter your life.

I’m thankful for:

  • The day
  • My family
  • The work I get to do
  • SPRING!
  • You, for taking this moment with me.
