3 – Take 3 Deep Breaths in and let each one out slowly and release any tension you feel in your body
2 – Take your 2 arms and give yourself a bear hug (bonus points: while in the self-hug rub your upper arms for a havening effect or tap each arm for bilateral stimulation).
1 – Take 1 minute (I don’t care how busy you think you are, everyone has 1 minute to spare for mental well-being) and practice paying attention to the breath. Just be an observer… watching the breath. You can do this with your eyes open or closed, it doesn’t matter. What is most important is that you allow your breath to be the focal point for the minute.
This is a very simple and basic process, but it is one that is highly effective. Most of those I work with are amazed at just how effective it is for them.
