Try this easy mindfulness exercise to keep you calm and centered.

Find 5-15 minutes when you’re alone (or get as much space and quiet as you can).

1. Close your eyes and take a very deep breath. Pay attention to how this breath fills your lungs and body.
2. Count your breaths from one to ten. Start back at one if you lose count.
3. As you breathe, pay attention to how your breath feels, including the speed, depth, and sound.
4. When you’re ready, open your eyes. Stretch slowly. 

Notice how this exercise makes you feel and fine-tune the steps to make it work for you. It’s a process!
