It’s kind of wild out there in the real world right now. It’s a lot for our nervous systems sometimes. If you need a little peace inside your body right now, breathing exercises might help.
When your nervous system feels overwhelmed, your breath is a gentle place to start.
You don’t need to do this perfectly.
You don’t need to push or force change.
Try one of these simple breathing resets when your body feels tense, wired, or unsettled:
• Extended Exhale
Inhale for 4 • Exhale for 6–8
(Longer exhales help the body feel safe enough to soften)
• Physiological Sigh
Inhale through the nose, take a small second sip of air, then slowly exhale
(Repeat a few times to release built-up stress)
• Hand-on-Heart Breathing
One hand on your chest or belly, slow nose breathing
(A quiet reminder of support)
• 3-Breath Reset
Notice tension • Allow softening • Lengthen the exhale
This isn’t about calming the mind.
It’s about letting the body know it’s okay to let go.
Save this for later 🤍
