Don't Forget to Breathe!

-Breathe in to a count of 4, 

-Hold 2-3-4

-Breathe out 2-3-4

-Hold 2-3-4.

Repeat at least 3x, preferably 5.

Get Moving-

-Walk around your home space.

Find a route to give yourself at least 5 minutes of changing your environment. 

Just because you have to Shelter in Place, 

it doesn't mean you have to Shelter in one place.

Pay Attention-

Stop and Notice how you feel:

Where in  my body am I feeling this uncomfortable feeling?

Would a heating pad/bath/glass of cool water or cup of tea help?

What can I control?

What can I let go of?

How can I help myself?

Journal these results and think about times that you DID have results to help yourself.



Quick Distraction-

Splash cool water on your face

Take a shower/bath

Listen to calming music on headphones

Dance around (with/without your family)

Work a puzzle

Read/listen to uplifting podcasts

TURN OFF the Tv-set a time to watch only for updates.
