I always turn to my breath first (and after too)
Before moving (and after too)
Before reacting (and after too)
Before crying (and after too)
Before everything (and after too)
My breath is the fastest way I know to check in, regulate, and come back into my body, especially on days when my nervous system feels stretched or overwhelmed.
Today I’m sharing 4 of my favourite breathing techniques that I return to again and again in my professional and personal practice:
• Extended exhale breathing: gently lengthening the exhale to support the body’s calming response
• Box breathing: steady, rhythmic breathing to create structure and emotional balance
• Physiological sigh: a simple, fast reset when stress spikes
• Coherent breathing: slow, even breathing for daily grounding and regulation
You don’t need to breathe perfectly for it to be effective. Even a few intentional breaths can help your body feel safer and more supported.
Save this for later 🤍 and try it this festive season 🎄
