“Become your own “on-the-go” healer by mastering the basic principles of sophrology – a healing practice that combines elements of Western medicine with Eastern meditative techniques. Because its tools and exercises are simple, quick and adaptable to all kinds of lifestyles and schedules, sophrology helps you get the better of life instead of letting life get the better of you.
Actionable advice:
Reset your breath.
Today, spend a few minutes improving your breathing. Take a comfortable seat and put one hand on your stomach and the other on your chest. Then breathe as you normally do – don’t force it, just be natural. Can you feel motion in the chest? If so, focus on inhaling and exhaling out of your stomach instead of your chest. Feeling the movement with your hand, imagine your tummy as a balloon that inflates and deflates. Tummy breathing in this way is a great shortcut to relieving stress.”

This is a long way of saying that meditation and visualization make you calmer. Sounds fancy though, right?
