Practice Walking

Taking a moment to slow down and just focus on walking can be a soothing, meditative activity if youre feeling overwhelmed.

  1. Create a clear path, maybe a hallway, or any place in your home where you can walk back and forth.
  2. Focus on your posture, straightening your spine from your tailbone to the crown of your head, and standing squarely over your feet and hips.
  3. Feel your feet on the floor. Imagine that your feet have never touched or felt the floor, like youre on another planet and have no idea how this new ground will feel. Notice every inch of your feet touching the floor or the ground. Be curious about how everything feels under your feet.
  4. Lengthen your body up through your spine to the crown of your head. Bring your shoulders down and back to open your heart center. Make sure your chin is slightly tucked.
  5. Take small steps, and step lightly and slowly. Smile while you are walking.
Slide the Stress OFF YOUR Shoulders

This breathing exercise helps you let go of the things that are causing you stress, giving you the space and permission to relax and be calm.

  1. Bring yourself to a comfortable seated posture on the floor.
  2. With your eyes closed, think about who or what is on your shoulders and causing you to feel weighed down.
  3. You may have your entire family lined up on your shoulders. Picture all of them there. What else or who else is on your shoulders?
  4. Inhale into your belly. Exhale slowly. As you lean to your right, reach your right arm straight out and tilt over until your fingertips touch the floor.
  5. Imagine everything and everyone sliding off your shoulders; listen joyfully as they scream Wheeeee! while soaring down the slide that is your arm. Let them slip right off, trusting that theyll be fine, that they dont need to rest on your shoulders (and that you dont need them to rest there either!).
  6. Inhale into your belly. Exhale slowly, and repeat the same motion with your left arm, letting everything and everyone on that side slide off. Give your arm a bit of a shake, as some people will (consciously or unconsciously) hold on really tight, even if everyone (especially you) knows its best to let them go.
  7. You can now fill up with calm and peace.
USE YOUR BREATH TO TAKE A BREAK

Try this breathing pattern for ten breaths:

  1. Inhale normally. Exhale normally.
  2. Pause. Begin the next breath before you feel desperate for air (meaning, a bigger pause isnt necessarily better).

The beauty of this technique is that it elbows out room for you to restto reflect before you make your next move. And thats when you start making decisions that reduce your stress instead of adding to it. Also, no one will notice youre doing it, which means you can practice this breathing anywhereyour desk, the dentists chair, or even in the midst of a difficult conversation.
