My concentration borders on zero degree
Too tired, overburdened ... and our neurons can no longer connect, such as a hard drive full. This is the total blank. The brain is very greedy of oxygen, it must provide enough fuel. However, yoga, relaxation of discipline par excellence, based on sequences of postures and precise work on the breath, teaches how to empty his mind and then have clear ideas through respiration.
The good breath
Trains to breathe into three phases: inspiration, an expiration, then crashes when there are almost no oxygen in the lungs. At this point, the brain becomes more responsive to the risk of running out of oxygen. Obviously, there is no question of retaining his breath indefinitely to stay focused, the idea is to repeat this exercise often to be more alert in the long term. At first, try a rate of 6 times (6-time inspiration, expiration and locking of 6 on 6). If you do not feel comfortable with this tempo, you can make it shorter. A repeat 10 times each day.
I need a boost
Awakening painful indigestion that stung the nose on your computer or unable to leave his couch when it throws home from work ... To offset a bit faint, you need to boost blood flow to properly oxygenate the upper body and brain.
The good breath
Lying down in front of a wall on which it based its legs as vertical as possible. Hands placed on hips, we practice 3 or 4 minutes abdominal breathing at a normal rate (not particularly slow) to prevent venous stasis.
Beware not get up too quickly to avoid dizziness.
I'm falling!
Your colleague, whose office is located 2 meters from yours, screaming in his phone, you just spent 2 hours in a car (while you had calculated 30-minute drive), a phone call you just horripilate .. . Calm down.
Subjected to intense stress, it produces more cortisol (stress hormone), heart rate speeds up and the muscles contract. But we can reverse the process: breathing slowly can "trick" the brain and calm down.
The good breath
This is abdominal breathing (or ventral) that sends up air and deep into the lungs, lowering heart rate and blood pressure. Lying or sitting up straight, we put a hand over his chest and the other below the navel. You inspire deeply through your nose and exhale through the mouth. One hand on the belly should move. To be repeated as long as necessary to feel really relieved.
I often miss the train sleep
The light is off. But nothing comes. No yawning, no signs of sleepiness. Nothing. Difficulties in getting to sleep are often related to a bunch of physiological mechanisms that have not engaged. The first: relax, all the rest (heart rate, body temperature) can follow.
The good breath
It will help you to disconnect, leaving the conscious awareness. Supine in bed, you breathe deeply through your nose (gently) and slowly exhale, again through the nose . We associate each breath to thoughts pleasant (happy events, projects) and each end to negative feelings (fear, stress) as to chase out of his body (and mind). To do 10 times. Morpheus and more if you do not seek the arms fast enough.
