Fellow highly sensitive person here 🙋🏻♀️ and def feeling it heading into holiday season on top of being an election year 🥵 love box breathing! I learned 4-7-8 breathing (same thing) but like the simplicity of the box technique better because I always forget what number I’m on and then get stressed while trying to de-stress 🤣
😹 this is so me— anything with numbers stresses me out, which is why I just can’t keep up with enneagram conversations. 😵💫 I’m glad box breathing has been helpful to you too!
such a hectic time! I love to make gifts and my sweet friend loves to mock me when I am covered in fabric scraps and glitter glue the week before Christmas, baking cookies at 3am. Deserved. My 3-year-old randomly lead me in some box breathing exercises today and it felt like a win!!
I know exactly what you mean, why do we do this to ourselves?!! 🤪😝 I really wish the holidays were a bit more spread out, January and most of February have nothin' goin' on! Um and YES that's a huge win!!!
Thank you, lovely Brittany!!! Soaking in all the simple things this season. Breathing AND your share from last week, 5 gratitudes— already a treasure to my home, heart and spirit!
Lastly, just this morning I was recording a message to a dear friend and reminding myself (and her to join) to breath… relax my shoulders and jaw… and continue breathing. So, I giggled at your divine timing with this today👏🏼😅🥰🥹😘
Appreciate you and your encouragement this season!!!🫶🏻🍁🍄🟫🥧🍯🍂
My therapist introduced me to box breathing last month and it's changed my life. I start pretty much every day by doing some box breathing. Last week I had a doctor appointment for my baby (due in Oct!) and when I started feeling some anxiety about the nurse struggling to get the heartbeat, I did box breathing right there in the moment to calm my own heart rate down. It's crazy how effective it is!
Wow, that’s so wonderful!!! I wish I’d known about it during pregnancy, to help take the edge off those little moments of anxiety. I’m so happy it’s a tool you use now!!
This came at such a great time. I had a overwhelming moment last week and had to call my Dad to walk me through a breathing technique… sounds silly but was needed! Thanks Brittany!

Right? Even March - May feel sleepy holiday wise. Christmas in February? I could get behind that!
thanks for the reminder to stop and breathe! 🤍🤍
🙏☺️✨ I needed it too!!

Taking a few breaths amongst the chaos and rushing can make such a difference - I also like the 4,8 breathing exercise.
Yes, it’s so true!!!

Not silly at all friend, I totally get it, so glad you found the support you needed!!
thank you for the breathing techniques! i'm always looking for things that will help. i'm definitely gonna try these.
I'm so happy to hear this! It seems so simple but I can always use a reminder to breathe. 🙏
