Have you ever taken a few deep breaths to calm yourself down?
If the answer is yes, you’ve already taken the first step into practicing mindfulness. We want everyone to experience the benefits of taking 3 breaths.
Pausing in the chaos of your day-to-day life to breathe can be a simple, easy way to:
Provide quiet moments of focus
Relieve stress
Live in the moment
Let go of negativity
And so much more!
Inhale slowly through your nose
Hold it for a few seconds, noting what you’re currently experiencing and feeling
Exhale slowly through your mouth
Repeat this process two more times, or as long as it feels right to you.
Hopefully taking a moment to pause and reflect will help you let go of frustrations and more fully enjoy the good moments! Help us spread the practice of mindfulness by sharing your mindful moments on social media with #Breathe123.
After breathing, take a moment to note what you are experiencing and acknowledge it, whether grateful, stressed or somewhere in between. Then snap a quick photo and post it with #breathe123. See the examples below:
