Deep Breathing: The true benefits
Anyone ever look at you and say, "Just breathe!", and you want to scream?
The thing is, they are giving you the very best advice- in every situation. Deep breathing is such a simple tool to bring you to homeostasis.
Think back to the last time you got upset. You likely started breathing rapidly which increased your cortisone levels even more. This only furthers the cycle and keeps your mood unstable and leaves you more irritable.
Promotes the release of endorphins
When you practice deep breathing, even just for 30 seconds, your brain triggers the release of the "feel good" hormone that comes from your pituitary gland. Once this releases, any pain you may be experiencing will be relieved, and you'll also feel a sense of calm come over you! Who wouldn't want more calm moments?
Detoxes
Forget the celery cleanse. Practice a few deep breaths and let your body do exactly what it was designed to. When you exhale, you release carbon monoxide from your body. The act of breathing is responsible for up to 70%!!! of your body's natural detox process. If you aren't breathing deep enough, your bladder and bowels have to pick up the slack!
Energizes
Trying to cut down on your caffeine intake? Breathing can help that problem, too. The more oxygen your body receives, the easier it is for your body to efficiently work, meaning more energy output for you!
Blood pressure regulation
That's right. Just by concentrating your breathing, you are improving your heart health. Once more oxygen enters your bloodstream, it encourages your muscles to relax, and your blood vessels to dilate. This lowers your blood pressure and regulates your heart beat.
Great posture
We know you don't want to look back in twenty years and wish you still had a perfectly straight back and great posture! Work hard at doing something you do every day, all day and watch how much you posture improves. Don't believe us? Try it now. Take a deep breath focusing on trying to make your breath reach your toes. What happens? Your chest and torso rises by being filled with oxygen. It aligns your spine and primes you for a perfectly confident stance.
Stop right now and give yourself 60 seconds. One minute to focus on yourself. Breathe in through your nose for five seconds. Hold it, if you can concentrate, think about it reaching different parts of your body. Hold it for three seconds then let it release through your opened mouth. Play some ocean sounds or birds chirping in the background and close your eyes. A quick few minutes of this can truly improve your overall health and emotional wellbeing as well!
Hey Alexa, play ocean sounds!

How Families Can Embrace Simple Self-Care to Soothe Fussiness & Stress
This blog explains how simple family self-care routines can help reduce stress when caring for a colicky or frequently crying baby. When an infant is uncomfortable, the entire household can feel overwhelmed and exhausted. The article emphasizes that small, consistent habits can support both parent wellbeing and baby comfort, creating a calmer home environment.
It highlights practical strategies such as short daily walks, simple meal routines, quick breathing exercises, reduced screen time before bed, and consistent sleep cues. These small habits help regulate stress, improve family rhythms, and make it easier for parents to respond calmly during fussy moments.
The blog also suggests creating a simple 10-minute plan for difficult times of day, with a short parent reset (breathing, relaxing shoulders, softening the voice) followed by a consistent soothing routine for the baby. Repeating small, predictable actions helps both parents and babies feel more secure.
Overall, the message is that tiny, repeatable self-care practices can build family resilience, reduce overwhelm, and create a more peaceful routine—even during challenging colic phases.
