Humans usually do things differently. We compartmentalize and keep on going, protecting ourselves in the moment but leaving us carrying tension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When that tension piles up and new sources of stress keep coming (we\u2019re looking at you, lingering pandemic and sky-high gas prices), it can be really valuable to have a few quick and easy strategies for slowing down and feeling calmer. Veterans aren\u2019t the only people who have stress, of course. But their experiences in the military can lead to both short- and long-term stress management issues, even if they are not formally diagnosed with PTSD or anxiety from their time in the service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like Gerow, military spouse and yoga therapist <a href=\"http:\/\/www.yoga2sleep.com\/\">Pamela Stokes Eggleston<\/a> works with veterans and military caregivers, using yoga and breath work to release stress and tension. She\u2019s seen many wounded warriors sleep better and improve their lives just by discovering the power of stretching and breathing well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eggleston and Gerow share some simple stretches and breathing exercises that you can do anywhere in as little as one or two minutes to manage stress.&nbsp;Moves like these \u201cwon\u2019t necessarily take care of the deeper stuff,\u201d Gerow says, but they \u201cwill give you temporary relief to get through a hard patch, to get you back to sleep or to calm your nerves.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1.  <b>Focused breathing<\/b>: Breathe in and out slowly, and choose one part of your breath to focus on. You can focus on just your inhales, really noticing each time air comes into your body through your nose. Or focus on just the exhales, paying attention to the feeling of air moving out of your body and allowing yourself to forget everything else for a moment. Whether you focus on inhales or exhales, or even on the brief pause between them, Eggleston says even 30 seconds of focused breathing can calm your body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2.  <b>Longer exhales than inhales<\/b>: If you\u2019re awake at night with your mind racing, Gerow recommends breathing with a 1-to-2 ratio. Breathe in slowly counting to three, then breathe out counting to six. (To slow down even further, breathe in for four, then out for eight.) These longer exhales will lower your heart rate and can calm you down quickly, he says. A similar option many service members learn is \u201cbox breathing,\u201d where you breathe in counting to four, hold your breath for four, breathe out for four, then hold again for four.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3.  <b>Joint-freeing movements<\/b>: It can help your mind as well as your body to systematically move and stretch your wrists, hands and fingers, and then your ankles, feet and toes. Eggleston says these moves can be done anywhere; she recently used them on a cross-country flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4.  <b>Belly breathing.<\/b> Eggleston and Gerow both suggest taking a moment to notice where in your body you are breathing. \u201cA lot of veterans are chest breathers. They\u2019re breathing up, and their clavicles are lifting,\u201d Eggleston says. Gerow has seen the same thing: \u201cWe don\u2019t think about shallow breathing, chest breathing, mouth breathing. But a lot of it happens for people that are stressed out.\u201d Try taking a moment to breathe all the way down into your belly. Fill your belly with air, then draw in your diaphragm to exhale. This rhythmic movement of your diaphragm will stimulate your vagus nerve, slowly shifting you out of fight-or-flight mode into a calming, parasympathetic response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond their physical impact, these moves give your mind a brief break from whatever thoughts you might be stressing about. Taking that break, even for two minutes, can make things more manageable when you return to focusing on an issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEven if you can\u2019t move and you\u2019re stuck in a car or something like that,\u201d Eggleston says, \u201cyou can acquire these tiny bits of joy and release and levity.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tips for veterans to manage
