This breathing exercise is amazing — what we know for sure is that our breath is available to us at any moment. Taking deep breaths can help minimize our anxiety, stress, anger, sadness — supporting all types of emotions.
Today we're going to practice that 4—7—8 breathing exercise. This breathing exercise can help slow down our heart rate and lower our blood pressure. I invite you to make yourself comfortable by sitting or laying down. You can close your eyes if you're comfortable with that.
➡️ We're going to start with just a deep releasing breath in... and a breath out. Every deep breath helps you to relax more.
4️⃣ Now, close your mouth and inhale quietly through your nose to a mental count of four.
7️⃣ Hold your breath for a count of seven.
8️⃣ Then exhale completely through your mouth to a count of eight.
Repeat this three more times at your pace. Then, release the technique and go back to your normal breathing.
You can practice this breath two times a day, if you feel the need to bring down anxiety, or to find a moment of calm in a busy day.
Thank you for spending a few moments of your day with me. Please let me know what you think of this breathing exercise. I honor that light in your. ✨

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
