-

LEFT NOSTRIL BREATHING

Cover your right nostril with your thumb and point the other fingers to the roof. Inhale through the left nostril, hold for a second and exhale.

PLAY MUSIC

Putting on a song that reminds you of a happy time will trick your brain into a smile or a giggle and break the anxious state. Repeat this each time you feel vulnerable.

ARM ACTIVITY

Cross your arms and place your hand under each armpit. Find the tender spot and apply some pressure. Close your eyes and focus on your breath as you continue applying the pressure for two-and-a-half minutes. On the inhale the belly comes out and on the exhale the belly comes back in towards the spine.

FINGER FLICKS

Place your thumb pad over the top of the nail of your middle finger and flick the middle finger on both hands. This sends the signal to both hemisphere­s of the brain to correspond with each other, allowing the opportunit­y to bring you back into a state of equilibriu­m. Keep on flicking your fingers for three minutes.
