Remember a time your emotions chugged like an angry train over the cliff. Did you say things the way you intended? Did you act the way you wanted to behave? Were outcomes unfolding the way you desired? I bet you said no. It’d tough to focus and maintain control when you got a bursting dam in your chest. Try out this delightful little exercise before red hot passions knock you over the edge again.

1. Press down your thumb over your right nostril.

2. Exhale fully. Inhale slowly through the left nostril for 10 counts. Make sure your mouth is closed.   Feel all your tensions worries and fears flood away as you exhale. Absorb all the love and pleasure you can get as you inhale.

3. Press down on the left nostril. Exhale fully and repeat.

Studies show that physiological and psychological temperaments are reflected in the manner of our breathing. When you control which nostril is functioning, you tune into the two hemispheres of your brain. Breathing into the left nostril activates awareness within the right brain. The opposite occurs with the right nostril. This exercise rapidly floods your mind with endorphins- pleasure drugs that often lead to euphoria.
