When everything feels urgent, don’t try to solve everything at once.

Try a five minute reset:

Step away from the task.

Take a few slow breaths.

Put your phone down.

Have some water.

Move your body for a few minutes.

Ask yourself: “What actually needs my attention right now?”

The goal isn’t to make stress disappear.

It’s to create enough space to respond rather than react.

🌿 Emerald Tree Presents: A Relaxing Breathing Exercise 🌿

Hello, lovely community of Geelong and beyond! Today, I'd like to share a wonderful breathing exercise with you all. As psychotherapist and wellbeing advocates, we know just how important it is to take moments for self-care.

🌬️ The Breathing Exercise 🌬️

This exercise is a simple yet powerful tool to help you find calmness and center yourself. It's fantastic to draw a square on the back of your hand while practicing these exercises, as it adds a tactile element that can enhance the experience.

1️⃣ Inhale for a count of 4
2️⃣ Hold your breath for a count of 4
3️⃣ Exhale for a count of 4
4️⃣ Pause for a count of 4

Initially, the 4-count breath might feel a bit long, so don't hesitate to modify it to 2 or 3 counts—whatever feels most comfortable for you.

📽️ To see this exercise in action, check out this helpful video: //www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FriSddUY84&t=1s

Remember, taking a few moments each day to focus on your breath can do wonders for your overall well-being. Feel free to share this exercise with your friends and family, too!🌳✅️

Halloween has officially hit our clinic, and we're embracing the spooky vibes! 🕸️🧛‍♂️ While we love getting into the spirit of the season, we know that it's also important to care for our mental well-being.
