take a deep breath

The breathe bubble exercise was designed with the following counts in mind:

  • Inhale for 3 counts

  • Hold for 2 count

  • Exhale for 5 counts

  • Hold for 2 counts

Experiment with different counts that feel comfortable to you. Go down by a count of one in each part if you’re feeling any stress or strain. If it feels easy, you can try increasing each section by a count of one. Bringing a hint of a smile to your lips helps to relax your jaw.
