Each Sunday in November we present tips that can help you manage unhealthy stress. Consider them this holiday season, and pass them along to family and friends!

Looking for a simple, healthy way to help get through the day? Try breathing exercises - a natural and effective way to reduce stress, maintain focus, and feel energized. Exhaling completely is a useful practice that is especially easy to learn - it can promote deeper breathing and better health. Give it a try: Simply take a deep breath, let it out effortlessly, and then squeeze out a little more.

Doing this regularly will help build up the muscles between your ribs, and your exhalations will soon become deeper and longer. Start by performing this exhalation exercise consciously, and before long it will become a healthy, unconscious habit.

Don't miss next Saturday's Tip, where we discuss flower remedies for stress relief.
