The Stress-Busting Hack That's Right Under Your Nose- Breathwork is more than the wellness trend du jour- it's a science-backed route to relief from multiple modern ailments.
âOK, OK, just take a breath.â If thatâs what a friend advises after you panic-share about a major-anxiety-inducing situationâââyour teen taking his maiden solo voyage behind the wheel, work instability, another high-stakes world crisis dinging your phone every few minutesâââitâs probably because they hate seeing you so on edge. But also, your friend is offering an effective means of slowing your spin. âThe way you breathe affects anxiety, and anxiety affects how you breathe,â says James Nestor, author of Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art. âItâs a two-way street, and while anxiety isnât a conscious choice, our breathing is.â
Do Men Really Not See The Mess? - The answer might surprise you. Journalist and author Gemma Hartley pulls back the curtain to reveal the invisible forces that drive this all-too-common cause of marital strife.
There was a time, earlier in my marriage, when every morning as I walked into the kitchen I braced myself for the rage and resentment that would well up in me.Cupboards left open. Dirty dishes in the sink. Coffee cups strewn around the house. And usually a pair of slippers or shoes, with inside-out socks, on the floor somewhere nearby. Even when I had left the house spotless the night before, Iâd wake to a scene of disarrayâââthe mess my husband had left behind on his way out the door for work.I didnât know which scenario seemed worse, my husbandâs consciously expecting me to clean up these messes or his truly not noticing them at all. I found myself silently tallying these small resentments, furious and flummoxed in turn that he seemed oblivious to things that needed to be tidied up around the house. It seemed as if he was always waiting for me to tell him what had to be done, as if he was incapable of noticing the mess himself even when he was creating it.
