Step 1: Calming Down with daily breathing

Breathwork: The Key to Calming Down and Regulating Your Nervous System

Breath Creates The Foundation of Calmness. To initiate the process of calming down, the first step is to focus on your breath. Breathing is the easiest tool we have to calm ourselves down and regulate our nervous system. By concentrating on your breath, you can activate the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS), promoting relaxation and balance. The numerous benefits of this simple act range from improving physical health to enhancing mental clarity and emotional resilience. So, begin by inhaling deeply, and let the process of calming down commence.

The Transformative Power of Breathwork: Calming Down with Denise’s Expert Guidance

For over 30 years, Denise has advocated for the importance of calming down and regulating our nervous system through breathwork. In our fast-paced world, it’s easy to become overwhelmed by stress and anxiety, with our nervous system playing a crucial role in how we respond to these challenges. By learning to calm down and regulate our nervous system, we can improve our health, well-being, and overall quality of life.
Our nervous system comprises two main branches: the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS). The SNS controls our “fight or flight” response, while the PNS is responsible for rest, relaxation, and recovery. When we experience chronic stress, our SNS becomes overactive, leading to health issues like high blood pressure, anxiety, and insomnia. Breathwork helps to calm down by activating the PNS, reducing stress and restoring balance within our nervous system.
Denise has witnessed the life-changing benefits of breathwork firsthand and encourages everyone to incorporate daily breathwork practice into their self-care routine. By focusing on slow, deep breaths, we can assist ourselves in calming down, lowering our heart rate, reducing muscle tension, and improving digestion. In addition to its physiological advantages, breathwork can also help us cultivate greater mental clarity, emotional resilience, and spiritual connection.
Approaching your day from a calm and centred place empowers you to make better decisions. A calm mind enables clearer thinking, better focus, and more balanced perspectives. When you take the time to calm down and centre yourself, you will be more likely to approach challenges with a level head, resulting in better problem-solving skills and making more effective choices.
