Joy Brown walks you through three deep breaths: inhale into your belly and chest, hold for a few seconds, exhale with a sigh. Close your eyes, stay still, and repeat whenever you need to calm down fast.
So this is a quick 1-minute breathing exercise you can do to simply calm your body and mind. I start it with all my meditations. We're going to take 3 deep breaths together, so just do this with me now. Take a deep breath in, filling your belly and chest. Hold for a few seconds at the top. Exhale out. Again, deep breath in, hold for about 3 seconds, sigh it out. What— last one. Deep breath in, hold for a few seconds, sigh it out. You can do this at any time where you can close your eyes and just be still, and it will help calm you down.
