Stress Reset · Day 1
Sigh it out
Two sips of air in through the nose, one long breath out. A few rounds, then breathe normally.

Spinn Originals play softly under the voice and step back while it speaks. If a workout is playing its soundtrack, that carries on instead.
Read the words
- This is Stress Reset. Five minutes, right where you are.
- You can sit, stand, or lean against a wall. If you are in a car, make sure it is parked.
- Keep your eyes open, or close them if it is safe to.
- We will use a long sigh. Two sips of air in through the nose, then one long, slow breath out through the mouth.
- Breathing normally is always fine. If you feel lightheaded, stop and let your breath return to normal.
- Let us try one. Breathe in through your nose.
- Then one more short sip.
- And a long, slow breath out through your mouth.
- Again. Breathe in.
- Sip a little more.
- And let it all go, long and slow.
- Once more. In.
- Top it up.
- And out, all the way.
- Now carry on at your own pace. Two sips in, one long breath out.
- Let each breath out be unhurried. There is no rush to get to the next one.
- Do two or three more, and then let your breathing return to normal.
- Now just breathe normally. Let the breath do what it wants.
- Notice your shoulders. If they have crept up toward your ears, let them drop.
- Notice your hands. If they are clenched, let them open.
- Notice whatever is here now, without needing it to be different.
- If you like, one more. Two sips in.
- And a long breath out.
- That is Stress Reset. You can come back to this breath any time, wherever you are.
