What this is for

Three small cards offer one comfortable breath, an alternative activity and space to notice whether it was useful. No deep breaths, counting or holding are required.

What you will need

  • Printed card, optional
  • A chair, floor space or a trusted grown-up nearby

Try it in your own way

  1. 1

    Try a breath only if you want to.

  2. 2

    Breathe in gently and let the air leave at its own comfortable pace.

  3. 3

    Choose something else instead: look at a leaf, draw or sit with a grown-up.

  4. 4

    Stop if uncomfortable. Useful, not useful and not sure are all valid answers.
