Breathe

I posted this over at LifeHacker this morning, and thought you’d like to see it too….

Folks with Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue are always looking for ways to overcome the overwhelming tiredness. This Guide to Never Feeling Tired Again is excellent, especially the advice on breathing.

At a three-day workshop I was at in Michigan, each of the participants was given their own nasal cannula (a thin plastic tube that goes over the ears and has nozzles that fit loosely into each nostril). Then any time we felt our brain going into information overload, we could belly up to the Oxygen Bar and enjoy a few minutes of flavored oxygen. Sounds crazy, but most of us loved it!

To bring more oxygen into your Body/Mind, here’s a suggestion: Find several common daily occurrences and use them as a trigger to remind yourself to breathe deeply.

For instance, the phone rings. Before answering, you sit up straighter and take a deep breath or two. Same thing when you sit down to eat a meal. Even better, use the moment you put the key in your ignition as a trigger to breathe.

Aaah! That’s better…. ;-)
