STOP. DROP. BREATHE • sometimes all you really need is a quick break, bring some oxygen to your brain, and clear out your head • quick mid-week meditation • drop whatever you're doing. gently gaze down or close your eyes. relax your entire face; your forehead, your jaw. soften your shoulders and lengthen your spine. find balance in your sits bones. take a deep inhale and fill up your lungs. and a little more. hold for 3. exhale all the way out, and a little bit more. repeat 3 times. photography: @_julianthomas
