July 6, 2020 Press Pause Week 1

Anytime throughout your day, or when you are feeling stressed or anxious

or overwhelmed or before reacting to something, or even waiting for

something, e.g., in line, the microwave, crossing the street…

Press Pause

Then, follow a breath in, and follow a breath out.

Do this for as long as you need: 1-3 breaths or 1-5 minutes, or more!

If you get distracted with a thought, think of the thought like a cloud

in the sky and let it gently go by,and focus again on following your breath.

Try it out one or more days during the week, see what you think, how you feel,

and comment and share your experience. Was it easy? Was it difficult?

Did you find it helpful? Can you try to incorporate it into your life?
