Many people breathe too fast, too shallow, and simply too much! ⁠ ⁠ 🤔 Why do we do this?⁠ ⁠ Because breathing involves both body and mind processes and is more complex than you might think, habitual stressed breathing habits sneak in and do more harm than good without awareness.⁠ ⁠ 1️⃣ This is why awareness is the first step. So, how do you get started with breath awareness? ⁠ ⁠ Simply observe your breath without any attempt to change it. Be curious about the sensations you notice.⁠ ⁠ Here are a few inquiries:⁠ ❓Are you breathing through your nose or mouth?⁠ ❓Where do you feel the movement happening as the air enters your body?⁠ ❓Can you hear your breath?⁠ ❓Is your breathing rate fast, slow, or in between?⁠ ❓Do you feel like you are getting a full and satisfying breath?⁠ ⁠ ⁠ Did you notice anything else? If so, let us know in the comments below! ⬇️⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #breathawareness #selfawareness #mindfulbreathing #consciousbreathing #breathinghabits #breathingexercises #nasalbreathing #diaphragmaticbreathing #deepbreathing #breathcontrol #breathingquote #breathingquotes #quotesofIG⁠ #breathwork #breathworkhealing #bellybreathing #nervoussystem #inhaleexhale #breathingtechniques⁠ #anxietyrelief #breathdetective #breathwatching #observebreath⁠ #consciousness #meditation #mindfulness #growth #mindful #wellness

🧡 Meet the BE Buddy, a multisensory breathing tool & comforting eye pillow for children. These colorful, animal-themed, mindful breathing companions empower kids to tap into their inner resources to manage stress, build self-care habits, and cultivate a positive connection to themselves and others.⁠ ⁠ 📲 Children grow up in a completely different environment than we are used to.⁠ ⁠ Today’s youth face busy schedules, social media distractions, poor diets, cyber-bullying, and constant access to stimuli and screens. All of these contribute to why your child feels anxious and disconnected at a young age.⁠ ⁠ One skill we can teach children is mindful breathing. ⁠ ⁠ 🫁 Breathing low, slow, through the nose and lengthening the exhale communicates a sense of safety. With practice, kids will have this superpower wherever they go!⁠ ⁠ Parents, teachers, and therapists can use the BE Buddy to help children learn how to go from stressed and anxious to calm in focused— all on their own!⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠Images by @threeecrownsbranding⁠ ⁠ #mindfulparenting #mindfulkids #calmingtechniquesforkids #calmheads #mindful #mindfulness #homeschooling #mindfulnessforkids #raisingkids #positiveparenting #parenthood #parentingtips #family #mindfulliving #mindfulnesspractice #grounding⁠ #breathawareness #selfawareness #mindfulbreathing #consciousbreathing #breathinghabits #breathingexercises #diaphragmaticbreathing #deepbreathing ⁠ #breathwork #breathingexercisesforkids #bellybreathing #nervoussystem #inhaleexhale #breathingtechniques⁠

What is the fastest way to help kids feel calm and safe in real time?⁠ ⁠ 👃🏼 LOW AND SLOW BELLY BREATHING! ⁣👃🏼⁠ ⁠ Did you know? ⁣⁠ Your thoughts are linked to your breath. When you have a busy mind (aka "Monkey Mind") or get excited, 🤯 your breath gets fast and shallow and resides high in the chest. This breathing style tells your body to protect itself and prepares it to "fight or flight." This doesn't calm the mind and body. ⁣ 🚨⁠ ⁠ However, with awareness and practice, kids can build the skill of self-regulation by simply changing their breathing. ⁠ ⁠ To shift from stressed to calm, breathe low, slow, through the nose, and extend the exhale. This signals the nervous system that all is good and safe. ⁠ ⁠ When practiced routinely, kids build the neural pathways to self-soothe on demand. This is an essential 21st-century skill!⁠ ⁠ DO THIS:⁠ 🥊 Knock out stress and anxiety by practicing "low and slow" belly breathing daily with your child. ⁣⁠ 🥊⁣⁠ Why? ⁣⁠ Low and slow belly breathing is like a #superpower. 🦸🏽‍♀️⁣⁠ 🥊⁣⁠ Once kids learn how to use it, they can handle anything that comes their way. ⁣⁠ 🥊⁣⁠ Low and slow belly breathing can shift the stress response from "protect mode" to "rest and digest mode." This healthy breathing style gives you more control over the nervous system and helps you become less reactive to stimuli and stressors.⁣⁠ 🧡⁣⁠ Just like any other habit, consistency is key. This is why I created the BE Buddy®. This multisensory breathing and relaxation tool is an excellent reminder to cultivate the skill of mindful breathing and self-care so that kids learn how to self-soothe before bed or when they need a reset.⁠ ⁠ 💸 Get $5 off your BE Buddy® website order, plus free shipping! 📦 ⁠ ➡️ Use code "buddy5" at checkout!⁠ ⁠ 📸 @threecrownsbranding 🧡⁣⁠ ⁠ ⁠

🤯 Stress is known for being bad, but it can be a good thing under the right circumstances. ⁠ ⁠ In small doses, good stress can motivate you and help you perform better on a task, but how can you tell the difference between good stress and bad stress?⁠ ⁠ What is stress exactly? 🤔⁠ ⁠ Biologically speaking, stress is anything that activates the sympathetic nervous system- action or alarm state. 🚨 This leads to the release of stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline. ⁠ ⁠ The sympathetic nervous system is often called “fight-or-flight” mode. Historically, stress was meant for situations when we needed to engage in conflict (fight) or run away to safety (flight). ⁠ ⁠ Our bodies similarly respond to all stresses (even perceived threats). Unfortunately, this response isn’t helpful for modern and chronic stresses (like being overscheduled or stuck in a traffic jam). ⁠ ⁠ Chronic stress can lead to emotions like overwhelm, anger, and anxiety. ⁠ ⁠ Did you know that deep diaphragmatic breathing is the fastest way to interrupt the stress cycle? ⁠ ⁠ Parents and children who experience debilitating stress and anxiety need to learn how to breathe to shift from the “fight or flight” state to the rest and digest relaxed state. ⁠ ⁠ This is where I come in! 🫁 ⁠ ⁠ Follow 📲 Link in my bio⁠ to read all about my coaching services, online courses, and workshops!⁠ ⁠ ⁠ 🦸🏽‍♀️ The breath is your superpower.

🛑 Stop and notice your breathing right now. ⁠ ⁠ 👃🏼👄 Are you breathing through the mouth or nose? ⁠ ⁠ 🧏🏼 Can you hear your breath? ⁠ ⁠ 🫢 Were you holding your breath? ⁠ ⁠ Your breath takes many forms and directly influences your mind, mood, and health. ⁠ ⁠ We all know that we breathe automatically without thinking about it. This is because breathing is part of the autonomic nervous system and will happen behind the scenes without thinking about it. This is amazing, but because it is automatic, many of us pay little attention to it and, as a result, develop habitual stressed breathing habits that do more harm than good. ⁠ ⁠ 🫁 This is where breathwork comes into play…⁠ ⁠ 🧠 Breathwork is the practice of conscious and controlled breathing to correct and improve physical, mental, and emotional health. ⁠ ⁠ Did you know you can stop stress in real-time by changing your breathing? 🤯⁠ ⁠ Breathwork is:⁠ 👉🏼 Accessible anytime and anywhere⁠ 👉🏼 Effective and backed by the most recent neuroscience⁠ 👉🏼 Simple & Inclusive because anyone can do it, and it can be easily taught & practiced in any setting⁠ 👉🏼 Free- not only free of cost but a drug-free option for self-regulation⁠ ⁠ Breathing will not solve everything, but it is a great place to start. I call it the lowest-hanging fruit to physical, emotional, and mental health.⁠ ⁠ If you have a question or are looking for guidance, 📆 Schedule a FREE 15-minute consultation with me, your unofficial breathing coach! ⁠(🔗 in bio)⁠ ⁠ This will be an informal consultation that is all about you.

✈️ When you are on an airplane, the flight attendant instructs you to ⁠ ⁠ “Put your oxygen mask on first before assisting others.”⁠ ⁠ This analogy is an excellent example of why I educate parents, teachers, and therapists first so that they have the tools to model and teach healthy breathing to children. If you are not o.k., you can’t help anyone else to be o.k. ⁠ ⁠ 🧽 Kids are like sponges and will absorb and mimic the role models in their life. They will adopt a stressful breathing style if a parent or teacher models dysfunctional breathing habits (mouth breathing, fast and shallow breathing).⁠ ⁠ Our instinct is to rush to assist children before ourselves, but by meeting your needs first, you will model healthy coping strategies and habits.⁠ ⁠ 🧡 Self-care is not selfish. 🧡⁠ ⁠ What are your self-care rituals? Let us know below ⬇️⁠ ⁠ #mayismentalhealthawarenessmonth #mentalhealthcheckin #mentalhealthquote #kidsmentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthawarenessmonth #mentalhealthforkids #kidsmentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthprofessionals #breathingcoach #rolemodel #positiveparenting #consciousparent #mindfulparent
