Take a Moment. Just Breathe.
In the rush of daily life, we often forget one of the simplest and most powerful tools we have: our breath.
Sometimes the most helpful thing you can do is pause and take a deep breath.
It might sound simple, but your breath is directly connected to your nervous system. When you’re stressed or anxious, your breathing often becomes shallow without you even noticing. Slowing it down can help signal safety to your body and bring a sense of calm.
At Cova Psychology, we often remind our clients that you don’t have to fix everything at once. You can start by grounding yourself in the present moment. One breath at a time.
If you’re reading this right now, take a moment. Breathe in slowly through your nose. Hold it for a moment. Then breathe out gently through your mouth. Notice how your body feels.
You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to start where you are.
