Breathe with the ring

Why breathing works

Your breath is one of the few parts of your stress response you can steer on purpose. A longer, slower exhale helps signal to your body that you’re safe, so your heart rate can come down. It won’t fix what’s hard, but it can give you enough calm to face it.

Try it before a hard conversation, in the car before you walk in the house, or anytime your shoulders are up by your ears.
