Conscious breathing for 5 minutes: The easiest reset of the day

Just five minutes of conscious breathing can act as an easy "reset" for the day, calming the mind and relaxing the body. Conscious breathing is a simple but effective wellness practice that helps slow down the nervous system and release tension. With slow breaths in through the nose and calm exhales, heart rate decreases, anxiety subsides, and concentration improves. This practice can be done anywhere, anytime, functioning as a mental reset to restore balance and clarity of thought.
