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.

My mom taught me this in order to slow down the nervous system. Breathe in for 4 seconds, hold for 4, breathe out for 4, hold for 4. If you're an anxious person you probably already know this. Also a good way to fall asleep really fast.

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.

The occupation persists, the oppression persists, the torture persists. The occupiers are psychotic and their work is never finished. People who’ve paid attention won’t be surprised by this photo from Gaza.
