Learn how conscious breathing can help you regain focus and clarity, enabling you to approach your tasks with a calm and centered mindset.
Grab your favorite essential oil, apply one drop to the palm of your hand, rub your hands together then place your hands infront of you and inhale slowly through your nose. Repeat this several times over the next couple minutes. During the rest period, allow yourself to exhale stress, lower your shoulders, and feel yourself relax into each exhale. Essential oils are a great way to soothe emotions and bring balance to a a busy day.
Another method that people find helpful is the "square" breathing method. Imagine with each action you are drawing a square in your mind. Inhale slowly for 4 seconds as you imagine drawing the first side of the square. Hold your breath for 4 seconds as you imagine drawing the second side of the square. Exhale slowly for 4 seconds as you imagine drawing the third side of the square. Hold your breath for 4 seconds as you imagine completing the square. Repeat this a second time of you feel it is needed. If 4 seconds doesn't feel right for you, adjust the time for your personal preference.
