Practice mindful breathing to calm the mind from "summary" of The Headspace Guide to Meditation and Mindfulness by Andy Puddicombe
Mindful breathing is a simple yet powerful technique that can help calm the mind. It involves paying attention to the breath as it flows in and out of the body. By focusing on the breath, we can bring our attention into the present moment, letting go of worries about the past or future.
To practice mindful breathing, find a comfortable place to sit or lie down. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths, feeling the air enter and leave your body. Then, allow your breath to return to its natural rhythm.
As you breathe, pay close attention to the sensations of the breath. Notice how it feels as it enters through your nostrils, fills your lungs, and then leaves your body. If your mind starts to wander, gently bring your focus back to the breath without judgment.
Mindful breathing can help quiet the mind and reduce feelings of stress and anxiety. It can also improve our ability to focus and be present in the moment. By practicing this technique regularly, we can train our minds to be more resilient and calm in the face of challenges.
Letting go of any distractions or worries.
