All wound up? Try some deep breathing. It's easy & free!
Deep Breathing/Visualization Technique:
- Close your eyes.
- Begin deep, calm breathing, in through your nose, out through your mouth.
- Clear your mind. Allow thoughts to drift by as you continue breathing.
- Relax all muscles in the body from head to toe, one by one.
- Release any remaining tension. Imagine it flowing out of tips of fingers and toes.
- Focus on a place (real or imagines) where you feel peaceful and safe. Notice colors, smells, sounds.
- Settle into this space, so you can re-create the feeling anytime.
- When ready, open eyes and come back into the room feeling calm and relaxed.
