So this is just a really quick reset if any stress and anxiety has started to fire up for you. So all you're going to do is take a nice deep breath in through your nose and then release the breath all the way out through your mouth when you're ready. And I just want you to see if you can do this a few more times so you're breathing in really really slowly through your nose and exhaling as slow as you possibly can out through your mouth. And then what you're going to do is just repeat this so breathing in again through your nose and exhaling slowly through your mouth. Just seeing if each time you do this you can make your breath a bit slower each time. So again slowly in through your nose gently slowly out through your mouth. Then the next breath you take is going to be the slowest breath you've taken all day in through your nose and then gently releasing all the way out slowly through your mouth. When we breathe like this it re-regulates our nervous system so all you're doing in these few minutes is simply coming back to the breath. When we're feeling stressed when we're feeling anxious we can almost forget to breathe and we can forget that we have this incredible anchoring system right here inside our body. And then start to see how your body feels. Does it feel a little bit more relaxed or do you feel you need to repeat this again? Keep repeating this slow cycle of breath as many times as you need to this slow cycle of breath as many times as you need to.
