Feeling stressed in the middle of the day? Whether you're working away at the office or busy caring for your household, midday is the perfect time to try this meditative approach to breathing. You'll feel more energetic because deep belly breathing helps to release tension from the abdomen, where some say emotions are stored.
Lie on your back with your feet flat on the floor, knees bent. Place on hand over your belly button and stack the opposite hand on top of it. Concentrate on feeling your belly rise as you inhale and fall as you exhale. If you feel extremely tense, press gently on your belly as you exhale. Think about relaxing your abdominal muscles to allow yourself to take deep breaths all the way into your belly.
