Calm your anxiety in 2 minutes!

I recently learned this sweet quick little really effective technique for calming yourself down when you start to feel flustered or anxious. You've got that sympathetic nervous system kicking in that fight-or-flight response. This is a great thing to do and this is so wonderful for both children and adults because in addition to breathing, deep breathing always helps calm the body. You have a visual and a tactile component so it really pulls your focus and brings you into the moment. It's called take five breathing and what you'll do is you'll trace your hand. You put your hand out like this and you're tracing it and as you do that you'll be breathing in through the nose as you go up your finger, out through the mouth as you go down. So it's in through the nose, you get to the top, you pause and you exhale down. Do it with me. Let's start at the base of the thumb, breathe in through the nose nice and deep and out through the mouth. Again in through the nose as you go up, out through the mouth, slide down, in through the nose, pause, out through the mouth, in and out. Last one, in and out. How are you feeling? Did this make a difference for you? It really does for me and you may need to do it more than once but what a great little trick, right? If you like it, subscribe and like my video and comment below. Let me know how this experience went for you. I'll see you soon.
