Objective:
Mindful breathing practice
• Get comfortable and close your eyes. Set aside at least 1 or 2 minutes for this exercise.
• Set your timer and focus solely on your breathing. Notice how the air feels as it enters your nose and how your chest feels as it slowly expands.
• Hold the breath for a moment and then slowly release it through pursed lips.
• Count to 1 every time you inhale and 2 every time you exhale and keep repeating. Counting helps focus the mind. Notice how much calmer you feel after only a short mindful breathing practice.
