Downshift breathing

3/31/2016

From the esteemed Andrew Weil, MD, a breathing exercise that activates your parasympathetic nervous system, counterbalance to our usually-way-too-active sympathetic nervous system (producer of the famous fight/fight/freeze response). Dr. Weil prescribes four rounds of 4-7-8 breathing to shift out of tension into calm and even sleep.

Welcome to my very occasional blog:
Productive Distractions

Since we all get distracted (some of us more than others), let's make it useful.

However, just in case, are you one of those people who can fall down the rabbit hole and lose hours online?

If so, welcome, fellow traveler!

Now, do yourself a favor.

Right now, before you do anything else, grab a sticky note & write down what you're looking for, or how long you're going to spend, or what it is that you're really supposed to be doing.

Next, note the time you will stop and get back on task - write big numbers!

Stick the note on the screen. Set a timer.

Keep your promise. :)
