Can this breath help us re-energize? #selfcaresaturday

by Lara Hocheiser September 18, 2020 2 min read

Rays of sun powering fun!

It’s been a long….life? COVID has made our perception of time fuzzy. March has seemingly lasted 6 months and now somehow summer is over?

All of us are overwhelmed and exhausted. Adults and kids. We all could use a little pick me up sometimes. And science is starting to prove just how effective breathing practices are for improving health and overall well-being. Studies show that, “breathing practices can help reduce symptoms associated with anxiety, insomnia, post-traumatic stress disorder, depression and attention deficit disorder.”

When our energy is low, it’s hard to keep going.

How do you keep going when your energy drops? Beyond the obvious need for more rest, sometimes we also need a quick pick me up.

For today’s #selfcaresaturday activity let’s try a fun breathing activity!

You AND the kids you care for will LOVE Power of the Sun Breath!

Check out our video for Power of the Sun Breath and try it yourself for a quick burst of positive feelings and energy!

This is a great opportunity to talk to the kids in our lives about the difference between needing to rest and needing a ‘pick me up’ such as drinking a sip of water or trying an energizing breathing activity or maybe both!
