🌿 Wellness Wednesday Tip #6 🌿

Sigh On Purpose
(Let your body exhale.)

You already do it when you're overwhelmed.
You sigh when the weight lifts.
You sigh when you finally stop holding it all together.

But what if sighing wasn’t just a reaction — what if it was a practice?

Here’s the tip:
Take a double inhale through your nose — one big breath, followed by a top-up breath.
Then exhale slowly through your mouth like a sigh.

Repeat 3 times.
That’s it.

This is called a physiological sigh — and it’s one of the fastest ways to calm your nervous system.

Why it matters:

• Lowers stress hormones (like cortisol)

• Relaxes the diaphragm and fascia

• Improves CO₂ balance and oxygen uptake

• Activates your parasympathetic nervous system

• Creates internal safety and calm

The body knows how to regulate — if you let it.

Try it today:
Pause for 60 seconds.
Sigh with intention.
Let your shoulders drop. Let your face soften.
Let yourself feel the exhale.

Reflection:
What would shift in your life if you made space to release what you're holding?
