Breath like a baby. Seriously.
Take some time and watch a baby breath. For those unable to observe a small child, watching an animal sleep will do in a pinch. It is most evident if they are sleeping. You will notice when a baby inhales, their stomach rises. The baby is breathing from their core (diaphragmatic breathing, if you care for professional speak). The baby is breathing in a most natural state.
Somewhere on the way to adulthood (and the acquisition of an ego), we are taught to be an adult is to be fit. Or at the very least, to give the appearance of being fit. This is when we all start breathing by inflating our chest. Most times, we are not even aware we are doing it. The bad part about it is we cannot effectively fill our lungs with that most precious commodity of oxygen.
Breath like a baby.
