Breathe in to the count of 7 and then out to the count of 11. Repeat about 6 times.
That right there is the 7/11 breathing technique. If you're unfamiliar with it, it's a breathing technique used to calm down panic attacks or anxiety. I use it all the time, and it is very helpful in any situation.
Whatever you're going through, just remember to breathe. Put whatever your doing to the side and breathe. Forget your stress and breathe. Put down your phone and just breathe. Stop stressing over school and your future and just breathe. Stop crying and just breathe....It can help you soo much, I'm only speaking from experience.
Recently my life has been really stressful, and I have noticed just taking those few seconds away from the things that are stressing me just to breathe is helping me keep my sanity lol
So try it out and tell me if it helps! Live in the moment and don't stress too hard.
