I practice square breathing – 1 breath in, hold that breath, 1 breath out and hold that breath again. It is a great way to practice emotional regulation and it helps calm me down when I am feeling overwhelmed. I also enjoy listening to music with lyrics that resonate with the current emotion that I am feeling. Another thing I enjoy doing is listening to coffee sound ambiance’s! It is a GREAT way for me to distract myself and it is also very calming.
