First…TURN OFF THE DAMN NEWS!!! GET OFF SOCIAL MEDIA!
Thank you.
Now…do this…
Take a few deep breaths from your diaphragm and release the tension in your body. Focus on a five-count breath:
- Slowly inhale from the belly
- Then into the ribs
- Then into your chest
- Up into crown of the head
- Then gently hold the breath for the fifth count
Reverse this process on the exhale for another count of five, exhaling from the crown, chest, ribs, belly, pausing on the last bit of breath out of the body, and then begin again.
Try to visualize the tension leaving your body from your head to your feet, either as imagining that the stress is literally draining from you through your toes, escaping your body with every breath, or simply melting away. – Source
