Close your eyes and place one or both hands on your chest. Take a breath in and hold. And as you exhale, intend for stress and tension to leave your body. Most people won't take one conscious breath today. You just did. Give yourself credit for that breath. Most of us breathe in shallow, anxious sips all day, never fully inhaling, never fully releasing. Our bodies stay locked in a low-grade state of stress without us even realizing it. Right now, take the biggest, deepest breath you've taken all day. Inhale slowly through your nose, filling your belly first, then your chest, all the way to your collarbone. Hold it just for a moment at the top and feel how full you are. Now exhale slowly, completely through your mouth, every last bit of air. Let your shoulders drop, let your jaw unclench, let your belly fall. Your nervous system just received the signal it has been waiting for, that you are safe, that you can slow down, that everything is okay right now. One breath did that. One conscious, intentional breath. Come back to this breath every time the world feels like too much. It will always be here waiting for you. I am sending you so much love.
