A Micro Break

A breath awareness practice to slow the mind down and reconnect to the moment. When we take time to notice our breath, we can become aware of how we are actually moving through our day, whether we are bracing or moving with ease. This micro break will help you feel more grounded and stable as you move back into your day.

Let's practice breath awareness. I use this technique anytime I feel overwhelmed or overstimulated after a long day just to come back to my body and reset. So close your eyes if it's safe to do so. Just begin to notice your breath. Notice the rise and fall of your chest. You Notice your inhale. And your exhale. We aren't trying to manipulate the breath. We are just noticing. And if your minds began to wander, Just gently steer it back towards the breath. Tune in to its pace. Maybe we shift our awareness to the tip of our nose. And notice the air rushing in. And rushing out as we breathe. And as we close our practice, Let's take a final deep breath in through the nose. And let it go through the mouth. Slowly opening the eyes and coming back to the room around you.
