Now, I am not condemning sensible drinking or occasionally eating ‘wrong’ type of food as a rare treat but daily ingestion of such substances simply leads to poor health and a whole host of related negativity.

The question, though, is what are alternatives? How can I relax and unwind without a few drinks?

The truth of matter is this. A real, instantly accessible, answer is within you and you do it each day without even thinking about it. If you learn to harness this inner power you will, literally, have a way of eliminating stress, or at least greatly reducing it, without need for things that are bad for you.

What is this ‘inner power’ I hear you cry! Very simply, it is your breath!

By learning a few simple exercises you can go a long way to beating stress while feeling healthier and more positive. If you perform repetitive actions such as deep breathing exercises then this helps in blocking out stressful thoughts. The more you repeat activity and become proficient at it easier it will be to unwind.
