Safer For Your Home And Self

I just have to share with you an article I found. It has such value, something we all need to be made aware of!

Find Your Focus by Jill Russell

Whether you’re on overdrive or underdrive, an imbalance in your mental energy can leave you unable to focus. ( Can you relate? ) Break the pattern, and you’ll effectively return to the present moment– and the task at hand. “I call it changing your state,” says Lucy Jo Palladino, PhD., psychologist, attention expert, and author of Finding Your Focus Zone. One of Palladino’s tried-and-true balancing ptactices is four-corner breathing, which combines the use of an outer focal point ( a window, a picture frame) with deep, rhythmic breaths. Try this meditation to jolt yourself into high gear or settle a skittish mind.

What it does? Lowers adrenaline, restores balance, and resets your attention, helping you focus.

How to do it?

1) Find an object nearby that has 4 corners- a box or page.

2) Start at the upper-left hand corner and inhale for 4 counts.

3) Turn your gaze to the upper-right-hand corner and hold your breath for 4 counts.

4)Move to the lower-right-hand ocrner. Exhale to 4.

5) Now shift your attention to the lower-left-hand corner. Tell yourself to relax and smile.

Repeat 3 to 5 times, or as often as you like.

To YOUR health,
