Practice Abdominal Breathing

How does it help?

Relieving stress reduces irritability, can increase your intuition, improves memory, and boosts physical health. Ease your stress by trying abdominal breathing, which increases the flow of oxygen to your body and reduces physical tension. Couple this self-care exercise with CBD’s stress-busting powers for maximum relief.

How to:

1. Sit in a comfortable position on your yoga mat or a pillow. Ingest some CBD, relax, and feel the day’s anxiety begin to lessen in your body. You carry stress that can manifest as physical aches and pains.
2. Place one hand on your belly and the other on your chest.
3. Take a deep breath in through your nose. Watch your belly push your hand out. Keep your chest still.
4. Breathe out deeply through pursed lips as if you were whistling. The hand on your belly will sink back in. Use your hand to push all the air out. Feel the tension you carry in your chest and shoulders release with your exhale.
5. Repeat 10 times. If you’d like, bookend your practice by consuming CBD after you’re finished. Note how your body feels more comfortable and relaxed.
