BREATHE

Inhale for 4 counts, hold for 4 counts, exhale for 4 counts. Repeat until your breathing feels steady and slow.
​

SCAN

Close your eyes and focus on the top of your head. Spend 30 seconds slowly scanning down your entire body until you reach your toes. Notice how your body feels.
​

REFLECT

Think of three things you are grateful for in this moment. They can be people, places, feelings, objects, or anything else that you appreciate.
