Work Break Breathing Protocol
This is our workstation breathing protocol. Take these 2-3 minutes to focus on our breath, and being mindful of the present and away from the stress and anxeity of work. Take the time to feel where we are breathing, utilizing all of our breathing structures and musculature, expanding the rib cage and belly on our inhales and letting the belly fall, narrowing our rib cage on our exhales. We will start with superman breaths. Put your hands on around lower ribs and stand tall, as we inhale, think about breathing into your hands, expanding your ribcage laterally and pushing your belly out; as we exhale think about gently pushing the air out, narrowing the ribcage. For some, this might be on the more challenging side with our slower exhales; if you find yourself having a hard time keeping up; just begin to breathe normal and begin again on the next cue. You can also follow my beginner's work station breathing protocol that you may find easier to follow and connect with.
