The Breathing Technique To Boost Your Energy In The Workplace

When you collapse into your chair or your bed and you let out this tired sigh, it is your body innately trying to get more oxygen by taking a deeper breath. So if you are regularly feeling tired, it may mean that you need to train yourself to breathe deeper.

There are many effective courses like The Buteyko Method that you can attend that will help to train you to breathe deeper to alleviate the feelings of tiredness. The challenge is that most of the time when you are tired, you are probably flat out with work or family commitments and don't have the time to spare. You're not only tired and have "run out of gas", you've also run out of time.

Fortunately when you are tired and pressed for time there is something that you can do at work that can help alleviate the tiredness and help train you to breathe deeper...

it's called " Energy Breathing"

This can be done anywhere whilst you are going about your daily routine.
The key to energy breathing is to use your diaphragm. As you breathe in you should contract your diaphragm so your stomach begins to stick out. This causes the lower and larger part of your lungs to inflate first creating a larger and deeper breath to help you more efficiently oxygenate your blood ,boost your energy and eliminate tiredness.

Energy Breathing Instructions
Breathe in for a count of 5 (as you breathe in your stomach does out)
Hold your breath for a count of 20
Breathe out for a count of 10 (as you breathe out suck your stomach in)
Repeat as often as you like (recommend x5-10)

So if in future you let out a tired sigh, just remember it is your body showing you how to get rid of those tired feelings.
