Take a deep breath in. Hold it for six seconds. Let it out.
We all need to take a deep breath every now and then, especially when the stressors of life seem too overbearing. Anxiety has a funny way of taking over our lives and sometimes even hinders our ability to simply breathe.
Whether it is school, work, a relationship, or family that is stressing you out, setting time aside for yourself is key to maintaining a healthy mind. The next time you start to feel a little sense of anxiety or panic coming along, put your hand on your chest and remind yourself that you have both feet firmly on the ground. You are in control and you have the power to calm your body down during those super stressful moments.
It can be really hard to remind yourself to breathe, even though we do it subconsciously 24/7, so instead, use these "just breathe" quotes to remind you to simply take a deep breath in ... and let it out.
