When we’re anxious or stressed it can be hard to sit still and breathe. Here’s a breathing exercise that helps slow our breathing down as we walk mindfully. We begin walking at a slow-ish but comfortable pace, and then tie our breathing in with our footsteps.
We breathe in for three or four steps (or maybe more, or maybe just two steps, depending on how quickly we’re walking), and then breathe out for the same number of steps. Paying attention to our footsteps reconnects us with the present moment, and helps get us out of our heads, which reduces stress.
