Take 5 is a simple, five-finger breathing exercise that you can utilize throughout the day to help you relax and reground yourself.
Here's a simple mindfulness exercise called take five. Let's try it out. Take out your left hand and hold it in front of you as if you're holding a pizza pie. Then take your right point of finger, place it in the palm of your hand, right around the wrist. And what we're going to do is slide up and down each finger, taking an inhale and an exhale.
Let's start with the thumb. Sliding up, breathing in. Slide back down, exhale through the mouth. Up the point of finger, inhale. Back down, exhale.
Middle finger, inhale. Back down, exhale. Ring finger, inhale. Back down. And pinky.
Back down. That's take five. Have some fun, bringing it into your day. Take care.
