  1. Three Ways Your Deep Breathing Can Improve Your Efficiency Our attention can be so absorbed at work that we lose track of the quality of our breathing. When this happens, particularly during times of stress we can lapse into restricted breathing, taking in short bursts of air or shallowly into the upper chest. What we don't often realize is that our breathing will affect the efficiency and satisfaction in the work we do. In this article, we will provide three breathing techniques that can aid you in staying focus and relaxed as you work. 1. You Can Breathe Through the Urge While writers on productivity advise that we should not procrastinate but they do not offer specific suggestions for how to accomplish this. When consulting with clients about productivity, people often delay their work whenever they're feeling uneasy. In particular, they may experience anxiety or even anger. We need, I think, some way to stay focused even in the face of the intense emotions and thoughts. The best approach in these moments is to breathe deeply. Hold your focus on your work and breathe deeply until the sensation of discomfort disappear. If you begin to feel anxious as you're working, take a moment to breathe slow and deep until your anxiety disappears. When we keep breathing and move our bodies, the unpleasant sensations feel like they are less and less overwhelming. In the book Living with Difficult People and Yourself by Dr. Miriam Adahan, she says, "When you breathe calmly and move purposefully, the muscles tell your brain that it's safe." 2. Concentrate on your breathing Zen meditators focus on breathing to stay conscious and keep their mind from wandering away into the past or worrying over the next. What I've found is that this practice isn't just useful for meditation--it also works excellent when we're being distracted by work. It is possible to focus on our breathing in order to bring our focus to the present moment and to what we're doing. In case where you plan for to find out further information on abdominal breathing, you have to check out https://www.lunguk.org/site. Many meditation teachers explain why the technique is effective by noting that whenever we put our attention on what's going on within our bodies, our attention is naturally shifted to the present moment. It's unlikely that you'll be able to think about the way you felt five years ago, if I tell you to focus your attention on breathing. Instead, you'll focus upon what's going on right today. As your focus shifts to the present moment, any memories and worries that may have been bothering you fade into the background. 3. Breathing Restriction: What you Should Be Educated About If you're feeling tight or uneasy when you work then take a minute to take note of your breathing. Are you breathing shallowly and rapidly, into your chest or throat? Do you make

  2. breathing difficult through clenching your muscles? Many people that I've met frequently check their breathing when they work and find they're doing nothing. It's not surprising that we experience discomfort and sore when we're not getting sufficient oxygen. You may notice you are breathing in a shallow or restrictive way. Take a moment to relax and breath more deeply and let go of any tension that might be preventing the natural breathing process. You'll probably find that being able to breathe deeply while working helps you work more efficiently.
