What is Mindful Breathing?
Mindful breathing is the practice of consciously focusing your attention on your breath. It's about becoming aware of the natural rhythm of your inhales and exhales, without judgment.
In today's fast-paced world, stress and anxiety can easily take hold. But there's a simple yet powerful tool readily available to help you navigate these challenges: mindful breathing.
By observing your breath, you can anchor yourself in the present moment and quiet the mental chatter that often fuels anxiety and worry.
