Breath Check-In
What It Is
A tiny pause that reminds you to listen inward before reacting.
Why It Helps
Slow, intentional breaths reset your stress cycle and make thoughtful choices possible.
What You Need
Any timer; even a sticky note works.
How to Do It
Set a reminder twice per day. When it goes off, lengthen your exhale, scan your body, and ask, “What do I need right now?”
This Is Not Worship
It’s nervous-system hygiene.
Variations
Pair with stretching, humming, or touching a comforting texture.
