Having studied health and science and recently qualifying in Sports  Psychololgy(BSY. SP. Psy. Diploma).

 

I have selected the "breath Test" for you to assess yourself...

 

I have included in this page my opinion on the basis behind Sports Psychololgy. As a member I will take you through a step-by-step easy guide to a more "positive" YOU.....  

 

 

 

The key to a healthier, more energetic, less stressful life is right under your nose. Actually, it is your nose. You need to use it properly to breathe better.

 

Andrew Weil, the holistic health guru, has said that if he could give only one tip for better health, it would be to breathe properly.

 

“Practicing regular, mindful breathing can be calming and energizing,” Weil says. “And it can even help with stress-related health problems ranging from panic attacks to digestive disorders. Since breathing is something we can control and regulate, it is a useful tool for achieving a relaxed and clear state of mind.”

 

Weil says learning to breathe slowly through the nose, out the mouth, deeply, using the diaphragm, not the chest can dramatically lower stress, lower heart rate, lower blood pressure and improve brain function.

 

 

Lie down.

 

 

Put a book on your belly and another on your chest.

 

 

Take a breath. If the book on your chest rises higher than the one on your belly, you’re not breathing as effectively as you could.

 

 

Slowly breathe in through your nose for a count of four. Push your belly out as you inhale, expanding your diaphragm. Let your belly and diaphragm do the work, not your chest.

 

 

Hold this breath in for a count of seven.

 

 

Exhale slowly through your mouth for a count of eight. When you exhale, try to make a soft “whoosh” sound by holding the tip of your tongue against the roof of your mouth

 

Weil says to repeat this process three more times (for a total of four breaths). Do no more than four breaths like this, at first. Practice this exercise until you work your way up to eight breaths. Repeat this exercise twice a day for a week or two to help re-train your breathing habits and technique. Then add a third exercise, then after another week or two add a fourth exercise.

 

Gradually increase the number of breath exercises you are able to do each day until you can do the exercise four times per hour (every 15 minutes).

 

 

	I CAN DO IT….no doubt, no hesitation, no negativity, purely I CAN DO IT. There is no room for maybes, hope or even I’d like to, ONLY I CAN. Once that is clear then a mental plan can be put into action and steeps to achieve that very possible goal with a positive unwavering focus can and will be achieved.
	Now you know you can you can channel an “I WILL” conditioning of being determined and resolute to the job at hand.
	It has now been determined that you can and will achieve your objective, but, one must now be sure of what that objective is, exactly and precisely. Know what you want then stage four can commence.
	The action plan has now been SET, now it can commence.  So step four is simply GET ON AND DO IT….
