A great way to take care of your mind is to pause, sit back, and let someone else guide you into relaxation. Start your practice with this 5-minute guided meditation you can do anywhere. 

Take some time for yourself this evening to slow down, dim the lights, light a candle or diffuse your favorite scents and breathe them in. Use this time to incorporate some of the breathing techniques that you have already learned. Don't have any candles or scents around? You can still practice candle breathing.

Take multiple breaks throughout the day today to stop and do nothing but take three deep breaths. This will allow you to be more aware of your mind and body. Put on some relaxing, peaceful, meditation music, and practice taking three deep breaths in a row.

Breathe in for four seconds, hold your breath for seven seconds, and then intentionally and slowly breathe out for eight seconds. 4-7-8 breathing can balance your mind and body, help reduce stress and anxiety, and help you fall asleep faster.

Use your morning time or any free time you have during the day to be quiet, slow, and intentional with your breathing. In this moment, you should use some extra time when you have nowhere else to be but with yourself. Practice with this 2-minute guided breathing exercise.
