When we feel stressed and anxious we can forget how to breathe. The 4-7-8 breathing technique developed by Dr Andrew Weil is a method that allows us to focus and calm the mind. This helps us to quieten thoughts. Feeling in control of our breath helps soothe anxiety, stress and even pain. • Inhale quietly through the nose for a count of 4. • Hold your breath for a count of 7. • Exhale through your mouth for a count of 8.
REPEAT THE CYCLE 4 TIMES

We can spend lots of time worrying and thinking about the future. Doing so means we’re missing out on the now.
When you find your mind wandering STOP ground yourself in the present. What can you see, hear, touch. Refocus your attention, be mindful.
Enjoy the now!

Strength comes in many forms, no matter how small it may seem.
Getting up out of bed when we feel depressed takes strength. Picking up the phone to make a call when we feel isolated takes strength. Getting out when we feel scared and insecure takes strength. Saying no when we desperately want to please takes strength. Dusting ourselves off after things don’t go to plan takes strength.
Test yourself... act “as if”...even if you’re not feeling it.
... BE STRONG...see how it makes you feel.
