3 Quick Calm-Down Hacks

3 Quick Calm-Down Hacks

Box Breathing (4-4-4): Inhale 4, hold 4, exhale 4 — repeat 3 times to reset your nervous system.
Grounding 5-4-3-2-1: Name 5 things you see, 4 you can touch, 3 you hear, 2 you smell, 1 you taste — brings you back to the present.
Move for 2 Minutes: A brisk walk around the block or marching in place shifts adrenaline and clears your head.
