I definitely try to take a moment and just breathe now, it really helps :)Anaishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06224896416031363566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030496918044060645.post-47218841596744218552009-11-11T09:33:59.533-05:002009-11-11T09:33:59.533-05:00I used to have anxiety problems myself and learned...I used to have anxiety problems myself and learned that breathing and focusing on other things was the key to calming down.

Sad that we are in a profession because we are passionate about it and want to help kids, yet it wreaks havoc on our bodies because of the high stress level.<br /><br />Your deep breathing sounds like a winner and I feel the same way about needing to just trust myself. Sometimes I still (after 4 years of teaching) feel like I am not a professional and I am not someone who can do it without help. I know I can, but I also need to trust myself more.<br /><br /><3 KatieSneaker Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11629970985456274562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030496918044060645.post-23787096467071254472009-11-10T20:52:02.842-05:002009-11-10T20:52:02.842-05:00I could benefit from focusing on breathing.

Most of us breath in a way where we sort of lift our shoulders instead of expanding our bellies. But I think we just sort of 'forget' to breath. And it would help if I would just take time, breath, and collect myself, it would help so much!Lisa from Lisa's Yarnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05335500882510597919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030496918044060645.post-90125670945547451162009-11-10T20:22:47.256-05:002009-11-10T20:22:47.256-05:00I'm like you, I have no problem breathing duri...I'm like you, I have no problem breathing during exercise - yoga/running/spinning.

Can't wait to peruse :)<br /><br />I absolutely believe in the breathing during difficult moments. After finding yoga and learning how to "breathe," I've noticed a serious change in my moods and my own ability to bring my focus back.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030496918044060645.post-65802458516353130562009-11-10T18:22:30.410-05:002009-11-10T18:22:30.410-05:00Great post.

I need to focus more on breathing, like you said, an dI also want to try yoga. The book I posted about a few weeks ago "Slowing Down to the Speed of Life" really helped my stress levels, a lot. I will now focus on breathing during times of "Stress" and remember that I create my own stress, no one else creates it for me!Gina; The Candid RDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13034788087113648183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030496918044060645.post-24928169131389217162009-11-10T18:07:02.205-05:002009-11-10T18:07:02.205-05:00I try to breathe/stay calm when student teaching a...I try to breathe/stay calm when student teaching and my university supervisor is there and my 17 preschoolers are going bananas!!!! :)Lauren's College Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09488259886437812969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030496918044060645.post-47465217866412242002009-11-10T17:58:12.852-05:002009-11-10T17:58:12.852-05:00Yes, that is so important and I try to focus on th...Yes, that is so important and I try to focus on this too. <br /><br />I am having stomach issues now, with bloating and I don't know what is going on.
