Breathing right, alleviates hosts of maladies, stress being one of them.  Of late, if you are feeling too stressed out and drained of energy, you might want to check  whether you are breathing right. You should breathe through the nose and not through the mouth.  Nasal breathing has tremendous health benefits - your oxygen intake is increased, the air that your breathe is partially purified  and humidified or rather filtered by the cilia (fine hair) in the nostrils, your lungs will be healthier  and so on and so forth - the advantages are multiple. On the other hand, breathing through the mouth has lots of disadvantages. Have you seen babies breathe? They breathe through the nose in a rhythmic, regular manner. Perhaps that's one of the reasons why they smile a lot and are so happy and stress-free.

It is one of those hot summer days when it is hot enough to fry eggs on the street, and you end up looking as if you have been sweating in the sauna. Your makeup runs, your hair looks seriously heat challenged and the fatigue that you are experiencing along with that sticky feeling makes you want to run home at the earliest.

Some get in with their heads going in first and the rest of the body follows, while some plonk themselves on the edge first and then drag the body in. Now this looks most ungraceful.
