This information brings us to Tip #2: Begin to be aware of the pattern of your breathing.<\/p>\n
Noticing the rhythm of your breathing provides you with important assistance to keep your attention focused on the present moment. To put this into action: Right now, begin to notice your breathing. While you are aware of your breathing, begin to take gradually slower and deeper breaths. That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s right: slow it way down.<\/p>\n
Now, while you are breathing slowly, what happens inside of you? What happens physiologically? What occurs mentally? What goes on emotionally? What do you experience in the energy-part of your being?<\/p>\n
As you become more aware, begin to play with the idea that, if you should want to do so, you could begin to alter these responses. Once you become aware of some response, if it is not what benefits you most, you can change it!<\/p>\n
