Mindful Breathing
- Inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth.
- Count 1-2-3 as you breathe in and 1-2-3 as you breathe out.
- Feel how the breathing pattern affects your body and your thoughts.
- Chase away the distractions that crowd in (e.g. wind blowing on your face, phone ringing, dogs barking).
