Do you regularly take a pause and just check-in with yourself, to breathe and notice how you’re feeling? You’re not alone. As we see rising cases of burnout and stress related illnesses, we can see the impact that living busy, non-stop lives is having on us. It’s easy to be caught up in everything that you have to do and only just keep yourself from sinking below the surface. Today we’re joined by hypnotherapy and breath work expert Helen Kelynack to explore the power of taking a pause. Helen is a breathwork advocate and coach who knows firsthand the power of using your breath as a tool to build strong health and wellbeing. Working in the NHS for sixteen years Helen treat hundreds of patients struggling with varying health problems and illnesses and realised that so much of what was difficult to diagnose was in fact stress related. In our chat we dive into: The power of taking a pause to check-in with yourself and breathe. Why we’ve forgotten the right way to breathe and how this is impacting our health. The simple ways you can introduce a breathwork practice into your morning routine. Why creating a short, simple morning routine is so impactful to your health and happiness. The role of the nervous system and how important it is to support good regulation of it. Starting out with self-awareness and noticing how you’re feeling. Listening to what your body is telling you to notice when the alarm system is going off.
