BREATHE.
Odds are, you spend very little time thinking about your breathing habits.
I mean, really… it’s not a difficult thing to do. You’re body’s natural need to live, makes sure that you’re acquiring enough oxygen to survive. But, we need to be doing more breathing than is necessary to simply survive.
Poor breathing habits can negatively affect both your mental and physical abilities. Conversely, proper breathing habits can attribute to lower stress levels, reduced tension, and even increase productivity in your fitness routine. If you suspect that you do have poor breathing habits (and most of us do!), the best thing about this is it is quite easily fixed!
A quick, simple breathing exercise is a totally easy way to start feeling a little more rejuvenated, RIGHT NOW! And, done regularly, it trains your body to breathe more deeply even when you’re not doing the exercise. This means more oxygen intake on a daily basis, increased mental and physical abilities, and a more relaxed feeling.
Here is my quick, 5-step breathing exercise:
- Sit in a comfortable position with your shoulders relaxed. (Close your eyes for better effect.)
- Using your abdominal muscles, inhale deeply through your nose for 5 seconds.
- Hold for 2 seconds.
- Exhale.
- Repeat 5 – 10 times.
You can do this anywhere! At home, at your desk work, or evens sitting at the coffee shop. (This also ties perfectly in to Total Wellness Principle #1.)
Try this breathing exercise for a minute or two, each day. You’ll be on your way to feeling more energized and more relaxed every day!
April 15th is right around the corner and lets face it, Tax Day can cause a lot of stress for people. Getting your finances in line can put your body under a lot of stress and cause a lot of tension. (all of those boxes!).
No need to fear, it is time to lay down, literally, and relax! It is all going to be over on Monday! Once again, Planet Beach is pairing up with HydroMassage for Tax Week!
Tax Week starts on Monday, April 15 and will go through April 19. Planet Beach will be offering FREE* HydroMassages all week long so kick back, relax and put those numbers to rest!
Checkout some other tips for reducing stress during Tax Season!
Deep breathing. When we are experiencing stress we often take many shallow breaths, causing further physical stress to the body. Breathing deeply and slowly promotes relaxation of the body and mind.
Organization. Keep all of your financial documents in one place, so that when you do your taxes you will not have to sort through other files or a stack of mail.
Don’t let long hours be your excuse to eat poorly – sugary snacks can leave you feeling drained of energy. A balanced diet with healthy snacks will help keep you energized. (poor diet can contribute to stress!)
Take frequent, timed breaks. Set your smart phone alarm to help you keep conversations to a minimum so you can stay on track (for fun, check out the Planet Beach mobile app).
Laugh…read a favorite comic, keep a joke book handy, or (if permitted) watch a short clip from a favorite comedy. Laughter helps put things in perspective.
Stand up and stretch!
Are you getting your beauty sleep?
We all love sleep. Sleep makes you feel revitalized, but its significance goes far beyond just lifting your mood and banishing under-eye circles. Sleep is a key component of total wellness that benefits your heart, mind, weight and more!
Sleep is an active state affecting both your physical & mental well-being. When you sleep, your body rests and restores energy. A good night’s sleep is often the best way to help cope with stress, solve problems, or recover from illness.
So how much sleep do you need? The amount of sleep each person needs varies depending mostly on age and level of physical activity. Infants need 16 hours of sleep a day, while teenagers typically require 9 hours. For most adults, 7 to 8 hours is sufficient although as few as 5 or as many as 10 may be required. As a general rule of thumb, if you feel drowsy during the day or if you routinely fall asleep within 5 minutes of lying down, you probably haven’t had enough sleep!
You’re life is full of daily responsibilities. Whether its work, taking care of the kids and spouse, running errands, working out, they ALL wear you down. Despite the fact that you’re completely exhausted at the end of the day you STILL can’t get enough sleep. Here are some helpful tips to get a better night’s sleep!
First of all, you need to let go and relax after a long day. You deserve it! Take a warm bath, read a book or do another relaxing activity before bed. You can train your brain to associate certain restful activities with sleep. Make them part of your bedtime routine to make it easier to get to sleep so you can wake up refreshed and completely revitalized to take on the day!
Set a sleeping schedule and don’t veer from it. Go to bed at a set time each night and wake up at the same time each morning. “Sleeping in” on the weekends resets your sleep cycle for a late awakening, making it harder to wake up early on Monday morning.
If all else fails, and you STILL can’t get to sleep, don’t just lie in bed awake. The anxiety of not being able to fall asleep just makes things worse. Watch TV, read a book or listen to music until you feel tired.
The amount of sleep you get contributes to your overall wellness in a variety of ways so make sure you get enough of it to keep you strong and healthy!
Planet Beach can help you relax before heading home after work, making it a little easier to get to sleep at night. Try one of our massages, a facial, oxygen therapy, guided meditation or a combination of these to ease your mind before heading home. These services can do wonders for your overall wellness and help you get the sleep you need! Read more about these services HERE!

Oxygen Therapy
 What is Oxygen Therapy?
Oxygen therapy is a treatment that provides you with extra oxygen, a gas that your body needs to work properly! Oxygen therapy can help ensure that you get enough oxygen, which can help you function better, be more active, and reduce stress and anxiety. Oxygen is necessary for every cell and tissue in the body to perform, and now you can breathe in the benefits in the privacy of your own room at your local contempo spa. Oxygen is the most important nutrient to the human body. You can go without food for weeks, without water for days, but only a few minutes without oxygen. Many people consider oxygen to be the elixir of life, and many medical experts believe that oxygen holds the key to many of our most prevalent diseases. |
