CBT MINDFULNESS THERAPY FOR ANXIETY RELIEF

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, involves changing thoughts, its the cognitive part, and actions, the behavior pattern, that interfere with leading a fulfilling and healthy life. The aim of CBT is to help you become your own therapist, and the skills are practical, goal-oriented, and can be practiced every day. Some CBT strategies aim to change thoughts and behaviors, while others promote mindfulness and awareness. Anxiety may cause your thoughts to wander, you may fret about the past, or about what might go wrong in the future.

Breathing Exercises - Technique healing body and mind

Learning to breathe properly, bringing in the maximum nourishment of oxygen and releasing waste products, is one of the most powerful ways of replenishing and healing our body and mind. For this reason, breathing is the foundation for yogic practice. Indeed, there is a yogic practice dedicated solely to breath and listening to our inner sound, we will practice Yoga in the next video.

Our state of breath is a good indicator of our state of mind. Did you ever notice, when we are relaxed, we breathe slowly. When we are tense or afraid, we breathe into the upper part of the chest and our breath is restricted. When we are grief-stricken or panicking, we hyperventilate.

If we are aware of breath and know how to use it wisely, it can help us to make the best judgments in difficult situations and thus save us from making rash or knee-jerk decisions. A study of correct breathing technique is essential for any orator, singer, or musician, and good breath control is the essential groundwork for effective voice work and chanting.

Now that you are aware of your breath, try to bring that awareness into everyday life. When you are sitting at traffic lights or waiting for public transport, rather than fretting over the wait, take your focus to your breath. Is it shallow and tense?

In those stationary moments, check in with yourself and realign your well-being with slow, full breaths. Do this as often as life gives you moments of pause. Supermarket queues often present an opportunity to practice this!
