Breathing is essential for life. Obviously. We breathe in and out about 22,000 times a day without ever really thinking about it.

Jewel, right? She’s an actual gem. I loved her in the nineties. And I love her now with her simple approach to mindfulness. Clearly we’re soul sisters because we both use these easy breezy breathing techniques.
‘Counting Breath’ and ‘Box Breathing’ are my go-to techniques throughout the day—to calm my mind and squelch panicky feelings… hey, thanks PSTD.

Sometimes I use them to simply relax and take a break from the multi-tasking mayhem that is my life.
I’ll just let Jewel explain. She’s perfection.

I do these whenever I feel myself losing focus or when I need to calm down or get anxious thoughts under control.

Try these next time you’re feeling stressed. Wait, it’s a pandemic so, like maybe, right now?

Side note: My husband’s name is Adrian. We started dating around the time Jewel’s song “Adrian” was popular. It creeped me out and left with me an irrational fear of canoeing. But nothing a little box breathing can’t fix.
