WELLNESS WEDNESDAY: No Rush
/If you can today - Slow down. Sit quietly, drop your shoulders, unclench your jaw, release your tongue from the roof of your mouth, and focus on your breathing. Slow down.

WELLNESS WEDNESDAY: Breathe
/Focused breathing can regulate our nervous systems in just a couple of minutes. If you are able - do this exercise:
Sit in a chair with your feet flat on the floor. Hold your cell phone in one hand, and with your other hand, begin tracing the outline of your phone with your index finger. As you glide your finger over the top of your phone - Inhale. As you glide your finger down the side of your phone - Exhale. Inhale at the bottom, exhale on the side. And continue around your phone with purposeful and focused breathing until you feel a shift in your body.
The wonderful thing about this is that you can do it anywhere at any time.
