How Breathing Can Reduce Stress and Quiet the Mind: A Guide to Deep Breathing Techniques and the Autonomic Nervous System

Health Made Easy with Dr. Jason Jones

Breathing is an automatic process that we all do without thinking about it. On average, we take 20,000 breaths per day. Breathing is such an essential process in life that people die within minutes if it stops. Your respiratory system and the body cells utilize the oxygen you breath in and, in return, create waste in the form of carbon dioxide that you breath out. Although breathing takes a subconscious effort, did you know that you can pay more attention to how you breath and significantly impact your stress level? You indeed have the power to change your breathing to relax your brain deliberately. Breath control dramatically helps to manage stress by promoting brain relaxation. Breathing and stress You probably have realized that your breathing patterns change whenever you are stressed or anxious. The breathing tends to be irregular and shallow. Your chest activity can also expand and contract so much, making it hard to get adequate air in, disrupting the balance of gases in the body. Ideally, shallow over-breathing can prolong feelings of anxiety by making the physical symptoms of stress worse. It is, therefore, essential to control your breathing to help improve some of these symptoms. How Breathing Can Quite the Mind Have you heard people advise you to take a deep breath whenever you are stressed? It is not just a myth. Deep breathing is a practice that enables more air to flow into your body and significantly helps calm your nerves, reducing stress and anxiety. The process also helps improve your attention span and lower pain levels. Ideally, breathing is a vital part of your body's stress response. Purposeful deep breathing helps calm your body down when stressed or anxious. You could be wondering how exactly deep breathing works to relieve stress. Don't worry! Here is a quick review; You probably have heard of the autonomic nervous system from biology classes, which control involuntary actions like heart rate and digestion in your body. The autonomic nervous system is split into two parts; The sympathetic nervous system controls your fight-or-flight response. The parasympathetic nervous system controls your rest-relax response. Though the two nervous systems are always active, deep breathing significantly helps calm your sympathetic nervous system, reducing feelings of stress and anxiety. Shifting your breathing to a modulated, slow, relaxed pattern helps to turn the volume down on the sympathetic nervous system. Therefore, whenever you are under stress, consider taking a deep breath by involving slower, longer breaths from your stomach to help trigger a relaxation response in the brain. You need to always focus on your breath when stressed to help counter the short, rapid breaths that your body defaults to when stressed or anxious. Practice taking deep breaths by focusing on breathing from your stomach each time you inhale. Ensure each inhalation and exhalation involves longer breaths. After some time, you will start to notice your body feeling more relaxed.

Finding love, Discovering breathwork   I realized that the reason I'm not allowing myself to go deep into relationships is the unconscious decision in my head that the world is an unsafe place.   Role of Breathwork and Psychedelics in our Awakening   Awakening from the unconscious conditioning in my life has been liberating.   Breathwork for the Brain   Breathwork in general is deeper breathing. You decrease the amount of carbon dioxide in the body. As a natural mechanism, the body recreate carbon dioxide making the blood more alkaline. As the blood gets more alkaline, that's what creates the shifts in the brain activities, such as quieting the default mode network (DMN).   The DMN is like the brain's orchestra - exerts inhibitory influences on other parts of the brain. When the DMN is taken offline, the inhibitions are released giving you a healing experience from some of the things that have been long suppressed.   In Michael's breathwork, one key step is to let whatever needs to happen happen. It's the combination of physiological, psychological and the music used allow the breathwork experience to happen.   Knowing the right breathwork for you   Choose based on your purpose. The more you use a certain neural pathway, the stronger it gets. It will bring up what you're ready to experience. Trust, surrender to the experience.   With breathwork, people feel they do have the answers within, that they have resources, and feel self-empowered and able to access creativity and intuition.   Benefits of Breathwork   Breathwork is not new. Conscious control of the breath can induce experience.    It is even reflected in languages. It's rediscovered.    Try Breathwork    Visit breathworkonline.com and click on Try Free Breathwork Session and choose your session. Michael's Best Medicine: Inner Work.

As most of you know, I have long been an evangelist for a daily meditative practice if for no other reason than to help people on their journey of self-discovery. There's power in the silence.  It trains us to be present, to hear our own voice, and to acknowledge who we truly are. In today's episode, Rick Hamlin joins me for a rich conversation about how meditation leads to greater compassion, forgiveness, and acceptance.  We explore how silence helps us develop the muscle of attention that gives us the capacity to stand back and observe ourselves so we can recognize our repeating thought patterns. We cover the benefits of meditation and then offer a few recommendations on how to begin your meditation journey.

Welcome to mom's life made simple the podcast for moms who want to go from chaos to calm from overwhelmed, to organize and to find balance between family responsibilities and personal growth. I'm your host Chanelle Neilson. Let's make mom life simple.  Hey, you guys welcome to the podcast. I'm excited to be here today with Darla trendler Darla. Thanks so much for being here. Oh, thanks Chanel. I am so happy to be here.  Darla and I go way back to back when I had. My previous podcast, we did a mastermind together and Darla has been going strong with her podcast. For many years. I'm thinking it must be close to five years now. How long have you  Actually it'll be four years. It's almost four years.  okay about. it's been about four since I started working on things, but yeah, not quite there, but close.  Okay, four years. And she is the host of the spiritually minded women podcast, which is a fantastic podcast. She's a mom of four kids and she's just, you will learn so much from her today. She's someone that I have learned a lot from and really admire. So Darla to start off, I'd love for you just to give a brief intro and tell us a little bit more about yourself. Okay, well, I am an Arizona and I was born here. I moved away when I was a kid and begged my husband to come back and we've lived here for 22 years in the valley and I love it here. I love I'm looking out my window right now and see my orange tree and it's 81 degrees in December. So I love living in Arizona. I'm kind of a desert person and I have four kids. Two of them are out of the house. They're are 22 and 19. Well, 20, his birthday is like this week. So 22 and 20. And then I have two teenagers at home that are both in high school. They are 14 and 17. So I'm kind of like on that phase of motherhood where I'm learning how to navigate with a young adult children and teenagers. And, you know, looking ahead that in a few years, there's not going to be any kids living in our home anymore. And I don't think motherhood ever ends. And so. We're kind of looking forward to a new phase of being parents. I'm married to my husband, Tim. We've been married for 24 years. We own a car dealership and I podcast at spirituality women. I love it. I just love connecting with other women and talking about important things in deep things and sharing other women's stories. So that's what I do.  Oh, I love it so much. I think that's so fun. And Arizona is a good place. It's a little hot, but but it's fantastic in the  Well, we endure those summers because then we have eight months of beautiful weather. So.  Yes. Yes, it is nice in the winter, for sure. So, okay. Well, I'm excited today to learn from some of your wisdom, and I think it's awesome that you are getting to this next phase of motherhood, right? Where your kids are a little bit older. So I think there's a lot that you can teach us having gone through the, the young phase of motherhood and now entering this phase. So what we're going to talk about today is just one simple thing, which is how do you make mom life since. Okay. I had to really think about this question and think, you know, what, what is something that I really do to make it simple because it's not always simple. It's, you know, I was talking to my husband this morning about, you know, how hard it is to like, Let your kids do things and teach them how to be independent and teach them things that when it's so much easier to do it yourself, that doesn't really simplify your life. But the thing that I kind of landed on that has been a practice of mine for several years is when I start to feel that overwhelm. And like I have a million things to do and a million places to be, and all these demands on my time. Is to just take a step back and think what's essential right now. And I got this from, if you've ever read the book, essential ism by Greg McKeown. I have read that book like four times. I love it. So many of the principles in that book, but this is probably the one that I, that really I took away the most and have implemented the most in my life. And so. When I start feeling those feelings of like, I'm so overwhelmed and I, you know, I don't even know what to do next. And I've got all these things swirling in my brain because I've always got a lot of things going on. That's just my personality and how I kind of operate. But operating in overwhelm, isn't very fun and it's stressful. So. When I start to feel that way, I've, I've kind of trained myself to just take a step back and take a few deep breaths and kind of recenter myself and just ask the question what's essential right now. Like what has to be done right now? And just one thing, I'm not multitasking. I'm not going to do, try to do everything at once, but what is the next thing that needs to happen the next step? And it's really interesting. You know, and I, I like to sometimes bring God into it and I'll pray and ask him what he thinks I should do. And it's really interesting that it's not always these big, huge things. Like sometimes it's, well, you need to go eat something because you didn't eat lunch today and that's going to help you. So that's your next step? Go and eat lunch, or, you know, it might be go prep. Or you know, you need to take some time to go talk to this child in their room. And, and then I do that and then I think, okay, what's the next thing I need to do? And I, you know, just try to prioritize and think, not think too far ahead or too, you don't get overwhelmed by the million things on my to-do list and just. What is the simple thing that I can do right now that, you know, I can just focus, give it my full attention and focus and doing that has really, it really has simplified my life. It really has made things a lot easier. I'm not perfect at it. There's still lots of times when I. Get sucked into that overwhelm. But when I do do it, I just, I noticed that it brings a peace into my life. It makes everything easier to tackle. And it makes me a happier mom and a lot easier to live with when I'm not so overwhelmed.  Oh, I love that so much. I've read essential ism several times myself, but I haven't really implemented that technique. And I think it's so good because it's just something. You can do in the moment of overwhelm. Right. And I think a lot of times we feel that overwhelmed because we're like 20 things going on, you know, all the, all these things that I have to do right now. And so to really just break it down to, you know, that simple question what's essential right now, I think is so good. So I want to get rid of. Specific here. You mentioned you pray and you ask, and I think that's really cool to ask for God's help in this. What do you do? So you're praying. What do you do when you feel like you don't get an answer or do you always get an answer to this question? How do you know if you're like, okay, but 20 things what's essential right now. I don't know. I don't know. What's essential right now. What comes next? Yeah, that's a really good question because it's not to say like, okay, I hear a voice in my head and it tells me this is what you should do. It's not like that. I kind of just go off of, okay. This feels right. And I start taking a step forward. Okay. That's kind of how that's, how I know that I'm on the right track is I it's always involved action. If I'm just sitting there fretting and thinking, I don't know what to do next. So if I just take a step, it's usually very clear. It becomes very clear, okay, this is what I should be doing right now, or this is not, and I'm going to redirect and practically, I mean, writing everything out is, is a good tool as well. Like making a list like these are all the things. In my brain. Like sometimes I do that at night. I can sometimes struggle to sleep at night because my brain doesn't shut down and I'm just thinking it's going a mile a minute. And I'm thinking about all the things. And I found that if I can just. Let's do a brain dump on it in my notebook of all the things I need to get done tomorrow. And then I'm not prioritizing them. I'm not, you know, I'm just saying, okay, I need to do this and I need to do this and I need to do this. And I just get them out of my brain. And, and so that sometimes helps me too, when I'm in that overwhelm and thinking, okay, what do I need to do next? And I don't always make a list, but when I have made a list, I go to that list and I think, okay, of all these things, like what's going to be most important right now. And so. So practically, I think, I think it's those two things. I just start taking action and then, you know, looking at that list and saying, okay, what, what feels like the next? right thing to do?  Yeah, I love that. I think that's so good. I think. One thing that I'm pulling out from that, one of the things that writing down helps us do is to really see what we have in clear, you know, action items, steps, because when we don't write it down, it's like this, it just grows in our mind. I remember once just sitting there being like, oh my gosh, I have so much to it. I have so much to do going through my mind. And then I wrote it down and I only came up with like three or four things and I'm like, oh, is that all. Once I could see it, it wasn't that many things, but that those things had a lot of weight. And so it just felt like a lot. And when I saw it listed out, it, it felt much more doable. Now you bring up another good point, which is just taking forward steps and taking action. So I think that that's another good tool there too. That you're actually. Making progress and you're moving forward. Any tips for, you know, when those action items are seeming hard and, and feeling big, how do you really, you know, move forward and take that action on those? Okay, well, I'm going to bring up Greg McKeown again because he wrote a SQL to essential ism. And now the Tuft, the name of It It's another It starts with E. I can't even remember now, but he talks about in that book, I just finished reading that one and he talks about just make it, oh, how could you make something easy? Because I mean, in my, I just said, like my mind's going a mile a minute and I make things hard in my thoughts in my brain. Like, I make things much harder than they need to be. And he's saying. Well, just, just how, how can this task be accomplished easily? Like, what's the easiest way to get this done and  That's the name of his  effortless. Okay. Thank you. Gosh, I can't, I just read it. I came up, but I read on my Kindle, so I don't sit and look at the title. And so, yeah. Anyway yeah, so like that's what he says in the book. How can we make this effortless? Like, you know what was the question you asked me?  So I was asking like, how do you, you were on the right track. How do you take this action and how do you know what action to take and how do you simplify the actual. Yeah. Okay. So that's one way to simplify it as just to say, okay, I'm going to do this in the most easy way possible. Another thing I think is to just start taking steps and I will tell you that a lot of times I know that there's something big picture that needs to happen, but I don't really know exactly how I'm going to get there, but I know that if I take a step, I'll figure out the next step. And, and then we'll figure out the next step. And that is pretty much how my life goes. I would say 90% of the time, I don't really ever have this huge vision and picture. And I know some people are like that. It's just not me. Like, I don't, that was just how I was created. And I have just, sometimes that's frustrated me, but I have learned to just embrace that. It is okay. I just have found that there's, it's powerful. It helps you feel empowered when you take a step and you accomplish something. And then once you take that step, it sort of opens up to, okay, this is the next thing that needs to happen.  Yeah. I think that most of us are really that way. Even if you have sort of an idea and a picture of how you want to end up, you often don't know. The steps. And so I think what you're saying is key is, you know, you have to just move into it, take a step forward and take the movement and take the action. And then you see the next steps. And I think nowhere is that more true than motherhood? I mean, it's true in business. It's true goals, but also in motherhood, there is definitely no manual. Yeah, right. So we don't know like, okay, if I do this with this kid, they're going to turn out like this, or this is gonna, you know, bring up this other thing and we just take forward steps and make movement. And you know, that really is what creates and really leads to getting out of that overwhelm. Because I think another thing that is coming up as you're talking is this idea that We want to see that big picture. I know for me, I would love to have it all laid out. You know, I want to do this project. Okay. Here are steps one through 10 of what you need to do. And if only it were so simple, right. But if you can only take step one, The other steps will become more apparent. And that's where that overwhelm is. The overwhelm comes from, I've got to do steps one through 10. No, you don't. And that's what I hear you saying. Just do a little, and then you'll see to know what comes up next. Any other thoughts on how this has helped you, this technique that you do on, you know, asking yourself what's essential right now? Tell us just a little bit more to finish up about what it's done for you and what you feel like it can do for other, other moms. Well, I kind of think another way to look at it is. That you're being, you're a creator. You're creating something in your life. And to me, knowing that I'm creating something, like, I think we all have this innate desire to create into, you know, to build something. And, you know, most people I think are wired that way. And I know definitely that I am. And so taking action and, you know, just being focused on. What's the next thing I need to do is a way of creating. And I think that's what propels you forward as you create. Something in your life. And then that creation opens up the next step. And so I think that's just another way to look at taking action is just that you want to be a creator and that it gives you momentum. It gives you, makes you feel powerful and like, okay, I have some control here when you've actually. Taking the time to go and create something. And I'm not talking about sometimes it's a physical creation of something like maybe dinner. I, I hardly ever cook dinner. And when I do, it's like, yay. I did it. You know, I felt really good about that. When I make, when I've done that, made that effort because it is something that's important to me, but it's just been crazy and gone kind of gotten pushed aside. But does that make sense? Like, I just feel like there. You'll you'll feel so good about what you're accomplishing when you are creating and. You know, the other thing is when I talked about making that list, like I loved what you said about like sometimes in your brain, it's much bigger than when you, where you put it on paper. It's not as big and I've experienced that, but I've also experienced times where I have put all this stuff on the paper and the things just keep coming and coming and coming, like there's more and more to write and obviously more than I could ever accomplish in a day. But I found that when I have just taken those steps and done the next thing and then done the next thing and, you know, looked at that list and kept going. Even if I don't accomplish everything in the timeframe that I think I should accomplish it, I still feel good. And I still feel momentum because I did something right. I created, I took a step. I ha I have action in my life.  Yeah. Oh, I think that is such a cool. I think creation is a spiritual principle. It's, you know, we are creating. here to create really. And we're here to God has shown us, you know, how he creates and then we are to be like him and create. And so I think that that's a such a cool thing to tie that in with this, because it's so much bigger. And when we can see that, that, again, it goes back to that big picture, right. When we see, oh, this isn't just. Making dinner, getting dinner on the table. This is taking these materials, you know, and making them into something that's sustains and feeds my family. This is creating a memory. This is creating time together, and it just ties us into this big picture vision. And it makes these little things. I feel so purposeful is what it does. And so that's a great way to make mom life simple. It's taking the things that see. Mundane and bringing purpose and meaning to them. So thank you for tying that in. I think that that is an excellent mindset thing that we can also focus on. You've had so many awesome things to share today. I know people will want to follow you and learn more.
