A simple way to settle before anything else you do.
What you’ll need
Nothing at all.
How it goes
Sit or stand comfortably. Let your shoulders drop.
Breathe in for four counts, out for six. Do this five times.
Feel the weight of your body where it meets the floor or chair.
Imagine that weight continuing downwards, like roots settling into soil.
Take one ordinary breath and open your eyes.
Come back whenever it suits you.
