Instructions

Step 1: Get Comfortable

Find a cozy spot to sit or lie down. Close your eyes and place your hands on your belly.

Step 2: Breathe In

Take a slow, deep breath in through your nose. Feel your belly rise like a balloon as you inhale.

Step 3: Breathe Out

Now, slowly exhale through your mouth, letting the air out gently. Feel your belly fall as you breathe out.

Continue to breathe in and out slowly, focusing on how your belly moves with each breath. Try it for a few minutes to calm your mind!
