Think one minute can’t change anything? 
Think again. Just 60 seconds of mindful breathing can shift your entire nervous system from fight or flight to rest and recover and it’s backed by science🧠✨ When you slow down your breath, especially with techniques like 4-7-8 or deep diaphragmatic breathing, you activate your parasympathetic nervous system, the part responsible for calming your body, reducing cortisol levels (stress hormone), and lowering your heart rate. Study shows that slow, controlled breathing improves autonomic nervous system function, enhances emotional control, and even supports better focus and decision-making. Just one minute of mindful breathing can:
🔹 Lower your heart rate and blood pressure
🔹 Improve oxygen flow to your brain
🔹 Reduce anxiety and racing thoughts
🔹 Support digestion and gut health (yep, your gut and breath are connected!)
🔹 Help you fall asleep faster and sleep deeper It’s free, it’s accessible, and you can do it anywhere. 
I’ve been using this daily especially before bed or whenever I feel overwhelmed and it’s been a game-changer. 🧘‍♀️ Try this today. Just 60 seconds. Breathe in. Breathe out. Let your body feel the difference. #happyyogaday #yogaday #yogaday2025 #meditationpractice #breathingexercise #breathingtechniques #fitnesstips #healthtips
