Start where your body is
If it feels comfortable, notice where your feet are. Floor, bed, slippers, shoes. Let the surface hold some of your weight.
Notice one of each
- One thing you can see
- One sound you can hear
- One physical sensation, such as fabric on your skin, the chair beneath you or air on your face
Take one slower exhale
Breathe in however you are breathing. Let the next breath out become just a little slower. No breath holding. No performance.
