Pause, check in with yourself, and choose what might help right now.
These are simple skills for everyday stress and reflection. You can stop any exercise that does not feel comfortable or helpful.
Slow Breathing
Slow, comfortable breathing can give you something steady to focus on when your body feels tense.
What do you need most right now?
If something feels unsafe, get support.
Calming or reflection tools may help with stress, but they cannot make an unsafe situation safe. If you are worried about your safety or someone else’s, reach out to a trusted adult or visit Get Help.
The slow-breathing guidance on this page is adapted from general NHS breathing guidance: breathe gently and comfortably without forcing the breath. Read the NHS guidance ↗
