Breathing Yoga Exercise to reduce Stress and Anxiety #stress #anxiety #...

Breathing exercises are beneficial for everyone, but they are especially important for people with the following conditions:

Stress: Breathing exercises can help to reduce stress and anxiety.

Pain: Breathing exercises can help to reduce pain, especially pain caused by tension or stress.

Sleep problems: Breathing exercises can help to improve sleep quality.

High blood pressure: Breathing exercises can help to lower blood pressure.

Heart disease: Breathing exercises can help to improve heart health.

Depression: Breathing exercises can help to reduce symptoms of depression.

Anxiety: Breathing exercises can help to reduce symptoms of anxiety.

In addition to these conditions, breathing exercises can also be beneficial for people who are healthy and want to improve their overall well-being. Breathing exercises can help to increase energy levels, improve focus, and boost mood.

Here are some of the benefits of breathing exercises:

Reduce stress and anxiety: Breathing exercises can help to slow down the heart rate and lower blood pressure, which can help to reduce stress and anxiety.

Improve sleep quality: Breathing exercises can help to relax the body and mind, which can make it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep.

Increase energy levels: Breathing exercises can help to improve circulation and oxygen delivery to the cells, which can give you a boost of energy.

Improve focus: Breathing exercises can help to calm the mind and improve focus.

Boost mood: Breathing exercises can help to release endorphins, which have mood-boosting effects.

If you are new to breathing exercises, it is important to start slowly and gradually increase the duration and intensity of your practice over time. It is also important to find a breathing technique that works for you and to practice regularly. There are many different breathing techniques available, so you can experiment until you find one that you enjoy.

Here are some simple breathing exercises that you can try:

Diaphragmatic breathing: This is a basic breathing exercise that can be done anywhere. To practice diaphragmatic breathing, sit or lie down in a comfortable position and place one hand on your chest and the other hand on your stomach. Breathe in slowly through your nose, making sure that your stomach rises and your chest stays still. Breathe out slowly through your mouth, making sure that your stomach falls and your chest stays still.

Box breathing: This is a more advanced breathing exercise that can help to calm the mind and body. To practice box breathing, sit or lie down in a comfortable position and close your eyes. Breathe in for 4 seconds, hold your breath for 4 seconds, breathe out for 4 seconds, and hold your breath for 4 seconds. Repeat this cycle for 5-10 minutes.

Ocean breathing: This is a visualization exercise that can help to relax the body and mind. To practice ocean breathing, sit or lie down in a comfortable position and close your eyes. Imagine that you are standing on the beach and you can hear the waves crashing on the shore. Breathe in slowly through your nose, imagining that you are breathing in the salty air. Breathe out slowly through your mouth, imagining that you are blowing bubbles into the ocean. Repeat this cycle for 5-10 minutes.

If you have any health conditions, it is important to talk to your doctor before starting any new breathing exercises.

Refuge

Danny was not retired, technically he came when people needed him, he helped or protected them as the case may be. It just turned out that over the years they stopped needing him.

And that was fine, it meant humanity could take care of itself, it meant they were safe. That was what had to matter, no matter that deep down, the halfa was hurt by the information.

It was harder to accept change when you weren't part of it. Danny was immortal, eternal, and powerful, things that no longer fit the world. Not with all the heroes and wizards running around, not with Amity Park fading away, becoming nothing more than a part of his memories.

He fit in perfectly in the Realms, sure, but he knew that if he stayed there too long he'd stop feeling human, and that was dangerous.

So, no, Danny wasn't retired. But he lived in a simple house in Metropolis, though sometimes he got tired of Superman being able to hear literally everything and moved to his house in Fawcett. He used to switch between the two houses frequently, not that it was difficult since he had figured out how to make portals.

He had a few friends, like the orphan boy who lived at the train station and Conner, a teenager who sometimes just needed a house to stay in when he couldn't stand his father.

Neither Conner nor Billy minded his age, which was comforting, although they both got curious when he visited the other house. Danny didn't know how to explain that Eternity Rock and Superman made him nervous if he stayed too long (he didn't like feeling watched), so he just shrugged and told them he had two houses.

Neither of the kids understood but they accepted it. They both had a habit of calling him "Uncle", Danny thought it was odd, given that his appearance wasn't exactly...adult, but it seemed they were comfortable with that, and he left them alone.

Apparently his house (occupied or not) had become a haven for them. Danny always greeted them with a sandwich, or cookies, even though he felt like a grandmother doing so. He smiled for the first time in years, feeling happy to fit into someone's life.

That's why it was quite disconcerting to find the Justice League outside his door asking him to join them. Danny chuckled internally, because the current heroes actually believed they could force him into something, but he accompanied them anyway.

Superboy and Captain Marvel scowled at the League as soon as they entered the Watchtower, when they were told they were bringing in a "dangerous individual" they didn't expect to see their unofficial uncle.

#dpxdc #immortal danny #he took care of Billy and Conner #Conner found his home after a fight with Clark #He thought it was weird when Danny just invited him in and taught him breathing exercises to calm down #Danny knows what it's like to deal with angsty teens because he's one forever #Well for that and for Jazz #Billy found Danny's house after he offered him food #Danny managed to cheat the system and buy two houses while they were not paying attention to him #Halfa powers and Vlad's fortune came in handy for something #dp x dc #dc x dp #Danny would change houses whenever he felt Superman or the Rock were paying too much attention to him #he hates being noticed when there is no reason #Billy and Conner know about each other even though Danny doesn't know that they know #They think it's fun to keep the secret #The conversation came up on a mission #The League sensed a large source of magical power and decided to interrogate it #Danny thinks it's cute that they think they can question him #He is the great source of power obviously #Uncle Danny

Emily and the extra realization that an angel had her wings torn off and eye gouged out and halo repossessed and was left for dead in hell- why exactly??

Emily: "A child."

Lute: "A filthy little sinner."

Emily: "You did all that to her, because she showed a moment of mercy to, a C H I L D?"

Lute: "Yes."

Emily: "And then you tried blackmailing her with this??"

Lute: "Yes."

Emily: "That's terrible."

Lute: "I'll admit it didn't work how we wanted it to, but the broken look on her disgusting little demon fling's face was still worth it."

Emily: "I meant that it was a wrong and terrible thing to do TO her. And to Charlie!"

Lute: "They've probably already broken up by now. That traitor will spend her final hours alone and wretched with nothing but her own failings to keep her company."

Emily: "How you can SMILE while saying that!?"

Lute: "Oh don't worry, she'll be out of her misery soon enough."

Emily: "..... respectfully Lute, I hope she fucks you up a little."

Lute: There's no chance in hell.

Lute: (comes back sans arm after getting a little fucked up by vaggie in hell)

Emily: "HA!"

Emily: "Anyway have you met our newest angel Sir Pentious? Sir Pentious is an angel now. He arrived here fresh from hell. Did you know sinners can be redeemed and Charlie was right and you were wrong and Vaggie did the right thing and Sir Pentious was just telling me allllll about how they made up and it was very cute and they're probably going to be in love forever? Meanwhile, YOU on the other hand- oh I'm so sorry, Lute. Too soon?" :)

take in a deep breath.

now breathe out.

feel the fucking nonsense float away.

take full, deep breaths.

breathe in stength...

breathe out bullshit.

allow your breathing to find its own natural, unhurried pace.

with each breath, feel your body saying:

Took me very long in life to realize that when an article about anxiety or whatever says "listening to relaxing music helps :)" it means music that's relaxing to YOU. Not just the usual slow and calm and soft relaxation music. This whole time I was wondering why listening to those didn't do anything, it's because they're not what I personally find relaxing!!

Turns out, if your favorite musician screaming moaning and crying in your ears is what you find relaxing, that's what you should listen to when panicking.

#Good for you if soft calm music helps you! For me it just leaves too much room for my brain to think. Same for breathing exercises. #For breathing I also had to find one that works for me because none of what I usually found worked #For people wondering. It is 3 seconds IN 6 seconds OUT (or a certain amount of seconds in and double the amount out) #My therapist actually taught me that one. Very good! #Panics. Hand me my shovel I'm going in by Will Wood. Am okay. :)

i love whenever raphael breaks character sm. he'll be like you idiot, you moron, in either words or expressions and then he'll be like 'moving ON, I, your best friend forever [...]'

[image description: a fair, black-haired woman with messy dark hair, yellow eyes, and a scar across her face. she's wearing a tank top. end description]

This is the general look Kei's running around with during Exorcising (and Exercising) Demons. Had to leave off on the blood, unfortunately. Aside from the yellow eyes, she just looks kinda traumatized and upset.

What she isn't is "harmless."

Saw your Mishanks bodyswap art! Very cute and fun! (Mihawk with a genuine smile on his face so so fun)

I imagine Shanks whould have trouble fighting in Mihawk's body at first since it's been years since he's had two arms

yes absolutely, i imagine that too! conversely, i think mihawk would have a little bit of trouble adjusting his balance and reach with a body missing one arm, as well. it's interesting to think about how they both would be forced to change their fighting style, and whether or not they would exchange swords.

mihawk's been seen using yoru with just one hand so he could probably pull it off with shanks's body. also interesting to think about shanks tripping up on having two arms until he naturally slips into his old fighting style again--or would he? because there's also the question of muscle memory, right? would mihawk's body automatically do things that shanks isn't predisposed to doing, and vice versa?

the other thing i find intriguing about body swapping in one piece is the question of whether or not your haki powers would switch as well. they say haki is spiritual presence, so presumably your haki switches if your spirits switch, but if it's the kind of spirit that's tethered to the presence of the body? then consider mihawk having the strongest conqueror's haki out on the blues, or shanks being able to use observation haki at mihawk's level, practically being able to predict the future--or mihawk, able to counter with shanks's haki-kill technique. food for thought!

#rei replies #one piece #mishanks body swap au #mishanks #akataka #dracule mihawk #shanks #akagami no shanks #red haired shanks #re: the genuine smiling #i also like to think shanks in mihawk's body would have this moment where he realizes his cheeks ache from all the smiling he's doing lol #bc mihawk's facial muscles arent used to doing it #and when they switch back shanks teases mihawk about it ('you exercise so many of your muscles hawky but your cheeks? they're weak!') #and he manages to get a smile out of mihawk that's mihawk's version of a genuine smile and it's softer and less wide but it's honest #and oh shanks is soooooo in love with him hahaha #BY THE WAY ALSO I JUST THOUGHT OF THIS OMG but in this body-swapped au mihawk-as-shanks would 100% shave for shanks #like hell is he gonna let shanks grow *stubble* on *his* face. dracule mihawk with STUBBLE? banish the thought!!!!!! #but shanks doesnt do it up to his standards so there's totally a scene where mihawk and shanks are body swapped in the bathroom #and mihawk is standing too close and shaving his lil pointy sideburns and mustache onto shanks's face #and shanks is having a crisis because that's his own face breathing too close and waaaay to intimately but that look of concentration #is ALL mihawk. shanks can practically his eyes--so familiar from the mirror and wrinkled with laugh lines--glow yellow with how #much mihawk looks like himself right now even in shanks's body. #it's all very strange. shanks has been attracted to mihawk for a long time but it's just blatantly unfair that the first time in YEARS #theyre this close again and it's shanks's own body that he has to look at. on the upside he supposes all he needs to do to ogle #mihawk is to look down. pros and cons pros and cons. #(mihawk isnt having a crisis. mihawk is annoyed that hia beard is easier to do in first person it is to do in the third person. #surely not having to do it reflected in a mirror should be easier and yet for some reason everything feels off! ugh.) #i digress

Every time a medical professional tells me to do breathing exercises and then measures my blood pressure they freak out because I'll go from like 110/60 to 170/110 in five minutes and I keep telling them that the slow-count breathing just makes me feel dizzy and like I have to pant to make up for it after the fact.

Writing this post has been miserable because even looking at the word "breathing" this many times has made me feel like I can't catch my breath but when I walk away for a couple minutes and stop thinking about inhaling and exhaling I know I'm going to feel fine again.

I fucking hate it when that four square breathing gif circulates or when I get an ad for a relaxation game on Duolingo, that shit breaks my lungs/brain for minimum twenty minutes every time.

You see, I think people don't explicit this enough, but the thing with anxiety is that.

You get an absurd, anxious thought. "What if horrible thing happened." And you get flooded with adrenaline. And then you get a second, rational thought. "It is unlikely that horrible thing happened; mundane thing probably happened instead."

But the adrenaline?? Is not going anywhere!! The chemicals?? Still in your body!! So now you have to sit there. And bathe in the worry chemicals.

#the chemicals proceed to trigger other horrible 'what if?' thoughts #no amount of rationally knowing something is unlikely will get rid of the chemicals. #you have to do BREATHING EXERCISES and shit #which I swear to God don't work on me. #breathing has never once helped not even a little bit.

had an actual damn panic attack today because I had to talk to a surgeon about a surgery. it's not even really the prospect of the surgery (dental. wisdom teeth. no big, everybody does it) it's the surgeon. honestly didn't realize how viscerally I still hate and fear surgeons. like damn they weren't kidding the body really does keep the score
