Your brain has fourteen arguments going on at once. You do not need to settle them all right now.
The tiny version
Give yourself one minute with the breathing ball.
When to try it
Overwhelmed, anxious, overstimulated, worried or out of control.
What you need
One minute. A screen if you want to follow the breathing ball.
What you need to hear
You do not have to force yourself to feel calm. This is a pause, not another thing to get right.
Try this
Open the breathing tool. Follow the ball at a comfortable pace. If that pace does not suit you, breathe naturally or focus on something you can see instead.
Afterwards
Notice how you feel, without judging the result. Decide whether you need a drink, less noise, a break or one small next step.
Journal prompt
What felt different after one minute, if anything?
Keep it comfortable
Do not force deep breaths or hold your breath. Stop if you feel dizzy or uncomfortable.
Notice what you need next. You can stop here.
