Breathing exercises to help when stressed:

• “I Am” breathing exercise

  • As you inhale and exhale use the mantra “I am” and attach it to your inhales and exhales for as many breaths as you’d like

    • Inhale - think to yourself “I”

    • Exhale - think to yourself “am”

    • This is excellent for resetting and grounding oneself, and doesn’t encourage you to have to feel any certain way, you can just be present!

  • Timed breathing exercise. Counting your inhales and exhales, and exhaling for a few counts longer than your inhales.

    • Inhale - slowly count to 4

    • Exhale - slowly count to 6

    • Repeat for as long as is helpful to calm yourself
