    Wow! I spent about 5 minutes "breathing" at my desk this morning and I feel fabulous! It's funny how something as simple as concentrating on your breathing can relax your body....

    I studied Kyokushin Karate when I was in grade school and junior high. Breathing correctly was the first thing they taught us. There is a lot of power in our breath. Nice post...

    Attention to breathing helps me a great deal, although I do not focus on it as much as I should. I get busy during the day and I forget!

    Another good tip I saw a couple of days ago was a simple yoga pose -- all you need is a pillow and a wall -- that will help restore energy after only a few minutes.

    Awesome ideas. I'm always looking for new ideas to keep my stress level, along with everyone else, I'm sure.

    Another thing I've noticed when I breathe is to focus on the cool air coming through your nostrils and then the warm air moving out of your mouth.

    Give it a shot!

    Thanks for all the comments - speedy, I'll check out that link and Joe, that's a good additional tip! TFB: I guess it's like anything else you try for stress reduction. It works, but only up to a point. If you're very frustrated it's going to take a while for any calming techniques to work!

    It's amazing how we neglect even the simplest of things. Thanks for the reminder.

    I like to call this conscious breathing. It's amazing how it clears the head. Of course, taking the breathe as you describe is most effective. I find that in stressful moments if I can just take a moment and take a deep cleansing breath it brings the stress level down a notch.

    Actually, the diaphragm goes "down" when inhaling...
