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.

🌬I recommend a couple deep breaths right now, it wont cost you anything or take away too much time. breathing deeply reduces stress, increases blood flow and blood levels, and it’s probably the best way for the average person to catch a break from the endless chatter of the mind. Take some breaths, breathe in for a little longer than you breathe out, try to enjoy it.
That’s all, be well

🧘Definitely have to remember, but it does help you let things go and get better in touch with your self.

🥊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.

💿It’s a nice little dopamine hit and helps you connect to old familiar feelings of comfort. I started doing this after a bout of pandemic depression and it still helps me get out of a funk every once in a while.

🤓Seems like a good way to see how your taste evolves and is influenced by other folks on this platform.
