Like really breathing, deep ones, looking out the window and writing and listening to Alice Coltrane breaths, feeling a calm inside like everything is bad, yes, but one breath in, one breath out, maybe that mantra that goes "I love you / thank you / I'm sorry / I forgive you" somewhere in the background, I don't know.

I have a friend who says lulls in conversation are a good chance to focus on her breathing. I wonder if it might make the conversation more awkward, but here’s the deal: there are no rules. Box breathing, belly breathing, 4-7-8– it all does the trick to regulate your body. Just take some deep breaths when you remember and take care of yourself today! I’m gonna try to do the same.

Breathe in for 4, hold for 4, exhale for 4, hold for 4. Repeat.
Helps slow things down, and the counting helps to keep your busy brain from interrupting so much. When it does interrupt, just notice it and go back to your breathing. (Basically I’m explaining meditation lol)
There’s also the five senses thing where you stop to notice a sound, touch, smell, taste and sight at the moment.
Also! Thinking something is great isn’t all bad! It can be part of savoring an experience, deepening it and making it more memorable.

Lately I've been feeling very anxious, so instead of being on my phone I've done breathing exercises in my car. I feel refreshed and weirdly grateful whenever I do it.
