Today I am going to share an exercise for calming down. Let’s be real, life is crazy sometimes. Between appointments, work, childcare, friendships, responsibilities, and all the rest…. it sometimes feels as if you cannot keep up with it all. Sometimes it helps to just calm your mind so you are able to pause and figure out what the next thing is you can do.
Start by taking several deep breaths….. breathing air into your nose, feeling it fill your lungs, and then blowing the air out of your mouth slowly. Then think of your five senses. Name five things you can see. List four things you can feel with your hand. Now name three things you can hear. Two things you can smell. And lastly, one thing you can taste. Take another deep breath and notice how you feel.
Curious what kind of therapist would be right for you?
