Part 4/5:
After this rapid breathing, take a moment to hold your breath and find brief stillness. During this pause, soften your shoulders, jaws, and eyes, taking time to appreciate the calm that rises within chaos.
Returning to a Gentle Rhythm
Shift back to the soft, gentle breaths through the nose. Allow your ribs to expand fully as you inhale, and exhale completely. Do this for a few more rounds, immersing yourself in the simplicity of breath.
Take these final moments to set an intention for your day or reflect on something for which you feel gratitude. Such reflections can cultivate a positive mindset that influences your activities ahead, creating a more productive day.
