Deep Breathing Boost Energy
Yoga Deep Breathing to Combat Fatigue Yoga, of course, puts great emphasis on breathing and has several breathing techniques of its own. But even if you don't practice yoga or a specific technique that incorporates breathing techniques, you'll still get more energy by breathing deeply. The problem is that when we are stressed, our breathing becomes shallow. Could that be a remainder from our ancestors in the jungle who held their breath to escape notice from a marauding saber-tooth tiger? Or perhaps a way of saying "Stop the world; I want to get off!" When things are going badly in our lives. In any case, depriving ourselves of needed oxygen at such times can lead us into a downward spiral. Just at the moment when we need more energy to face and handle our problems, we find ourselves with less energy than we had before, and this state of affairs can lead us to discouragement and a feeling of hopelessness. The advantage of deep breathing for people who are in this state of mind is that it doesn't take any equipment or advance preparation or huge output of effort. You just decide to breathe a bit deeper than usual, and you can start by taking some deep but easy breaths. And then a few more, and then go on from there.
You're already breathing anyway; you might as well add a bit more air each time. There's nothing difficult about it at all. And if it does feel difficult, then there may be deeper issues that need to be addressed, such as feelings of not deserving to live a healthy life, or a lack of desire to live, or any number of other emotional issues.
