A minute to pause

If you can, pause for a moment.

Take a deep breath in.
Let it go.

Soften your forehead.
(Notice if it was tense.)

Let the corners of your lips lift slightly, like a Mona Lisa smile.
Drop your shoulders.
(They’re often higher than we realize , were yours?)

Open your chest a little.
Lift your heart up.

Now breathe in through your nose for 4 seconds.
Hold for 4.
Breathe out through your mouth for 4. Let it go

Repeat once or twice, eyes closed if you like.

Feel any shift?

You can return to this anytime during the day.
Small moments like this help us reset and refocus. Then we can get on with our days, a bit less tense.
