Therapy Tips
Peace of Mind
Tip #1. Try this 3-step diaphragmatic breathing exercise:
Put your hand on your stomach. Notice how that feels.
Inhale slowly through your nose. Count to 4.
Pause, then exhale out through your top lip. Count to 6. Pretend you are blowing on a camp fire just enough to keep the flames glowing.
Repeat for approximately 1-5 minutes timed.
Why it works: This is a science-backed technique that switches on your body’s natural relaxation response (often called the “rest and digest” mode), helping both body and mind finally relax and be present.
