Take a five. Take a breather.

Life is erratic. Before you flip out, best to take a breather. Take a breath break.

Here is a Sesame Street’s breathing for beginners:  

Breathe in deeply like you’re trying to steal all the oxygen in the room. Use your belly to take a deeper breath. Let the air fill your lungs. 

Hold your breath briefly and gently for a few seconds  so that your body gets the oxygen it needs.

Slowly release air from your lungs. Savor the pause between breaths.

5-minute escape. 5-minute meditation. Intentional pause. Mindful pause
