If you need a break from all the overwhelm in your day, find your mind drifting, or having trouble staying focused, this breathing exercise takes less than 2 minutes. And it works so amazingly well.
If you can, find a place to lie down. Get comfortable. Close your eyes. Place one hand on your belly button, and the other on your chest.

When finished, switch your attention to the hand on your chest. Take in five deep breaths, each time bringing the breath to your chest area.
That’s it. That’s all it takes to get your mind to stop spinning.
