The fact is that as we get older, we end up complicating life for ourselves. When we were young, we saw the world around us through simple eyes. All this changes as we get older, as we begin to be affected by negative influences, as we stumble and fall and go through experiences. We make our lives so difficult over a course of time that we end up losing touch with who we are and what we need. KEEP READING

A couple of days ago we posted a fantastic exercise called The Focus Wheel, by Abraham Hicks. This exercise helps you to pivot from a place of negativity and lack, to one of positive expectation and expectancy.
Even though Abraham gave a great description of how to do it (click here to see the original post), I came across this video and article which makes the process even easier to follow and do, and I thought of you guys!

Focused Breathing.
Benefits:
Focused breathing helps to maximize your energy
intake, while keeping the mind "in the body" and
clear of distracting, self-limiting thoughts. This
is a natural relaxed state of peak performance.
Here's how Focused-Breathing
The breathing cycle for this exercise is divided
into three parts, each part getting a set number
of counts:
Inhale (2 counts)
Hold the breath (2 counts)
Exhale (4 counts)
Once you're comfortable with this method, you can
attempt to apply it to your activity. As an example,
for walking:
Inhale for 2 steps
Hold for 2 steps
Exhale for 4 steps
Ultimately, you want to find a pace and count that
you can maintain and that feels natural. As you
become more adept with this technique, try and
increase your counts while keeping the same ratio.
For example, inhale for 4 counts, hold for 4 counts,
exhale for 8 (or 6, 6 and 12). Experiment and find a
combination that works well for you.
When should you use this?
Try focused breathing during your next workout or
before your big presentation.
You'll feel more centered, grounded and calm to
better handle your task.
Why?
There's no way you can think about yesterday or
tomorrow when you're concentrating on your
next breath.
