Feeling Anxious? Here are 2 Simple Ways to Calm Down and Gain Clarity

About this episode

Kate Jones shares two simple breathing techniques to help manage anxiety and gain clarity.

For these two calming techniques, all that's involved is breathing in and out and focusing one's mind. They take maybe a minute or so to do both of them. I've found that they help me a lot when I'm feeling stressed, and I really like doing them proactively too — just to get into the right mindset at the beginning of the day or anytime. Please try them out to see whether they also help you manage stress and feel more clearheaded, and let me know by using the text link below. Credit...
