Traveling with children? Feeling anxious before your flight? ✈️😣
Here are a few simple sophrology techniques to help you and your little ones stay calm and collected before your journey:

1. Belly Breathing
Sit comfortably, close your eyes, and place your hands on your belly.
Take a deep breath in through your nose for 4 counts, letting your belly expand.
Slowly exhale for 6 counts, letting go of any tension. Repeat for 3-5 cycles.
Tip:- Get the kids involved by making a "balloon" sound during the exhale to keep it fun!

2. Positive Visualization
Imagine your ideal trip ahead—smooth check-in, peaceful flight, happy family.
Visualizing a calm and enjoyable journey can shift your mindset and reduce anxiety.
Tip:Share the vision with your kids, asking them to imagine what fun things they will do when you arrive!

3. Muscle Relaxation
Tense and relax each body part, starting from your toes and moving up to your head.
Hold each tension for a few seconds before relaxing the muscle.
Tip: Guide your kids by gently saying, “Let’s make our legs strong like a tree, then let them relax like the branches.

Hey Friends!

Let’s chat about Emotional Intelligence (EI)—a game-changer not just in the workplace but in everyday life! Whether it’s at home, with friends, or dealing with tough situations, mastering EI can help us navigate relationships and keep things balanced.

Here are 3 quick tips to boost your emotional intelligence and bring more harmony to your day:

🚦 1. Know Your Triggers
Self-awareness is key! What emotions flare up when certain things happen? Is it when plans change last-minute or when you feel unheard? Recognizing your triggers is the first step in managing how you respond.

🔄 2. Practice Self-Regulation
Once you know your triggers, practice self-regulation. Instead of reacting impulsively, pause, breathe, and choose a thoughtful response. This can transform a tense moment into a positive one.

💬 3. Lead with Empathy
Empathy is the heart of stronger connections. Put yourself in others' shoes—what might they be feeling or dealing with? Understanding their perspective fosters compassion and builds trust.

These steps aren’t just for work—they’re amazing for home life, friendships, or any interaction! Let’s lead with emotional intelligence and create more peaceful, meaningful connections. 🌟

Sophrology as a Medical Therapy

Although Sophrology is not a medical treatment, doctors in France widely prescribe it as a therapy alongside medicine or cure. A study of sophrology on children with asthma proved that those who experienced sophrology sessions alongside standard treatment had improved airflow compared to those who didn’t practice sophrology.

A study of sophrology on oncology patients at the Institute Curie observed that cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy experienced less stress and fear while using sophrology techniques than those who didn’t practice sophrology.
