Breathwork Activity – Reset Breathing

“The breath knows how to go deeper than the mind.”
--Wim Hof

Reset breathing is a breathing technique that a person can do anywhere, and anytime. Its intention is to assist in high stress/emotional situations/environments and allow you to clear the sensation at any time or place.
These situtations may arise from a place, person or experience, whether it’s from a co-worker, family member, friend, or stranger, practice to reset.

Before starting, identify what it is that you see or feel needs to be reset. This may be emotions around stress, worry, fear, anxiety, etc. Essentially, emotions that do not serve you in that moment.
 
Reset breathing is a state altering, simple, dynamic technique that aims to return your state of mind to its balanced or natural state. This breathing exercise may help to heighten your sense of control and connection to your genuine self.
 
The technique is also known as "resetting your being”. It is easy to do, quick to learn, and can be a highly effective habit for people that move quickly throughout the day.

1. Identify what it is that brought you to resetting. Whether a person, experience, or moment.
2. Reflect and feel what it is about the cause to bringing you to your breath.
3. Breathe in through your nose while gathering yourself from what brought you to this. Feel the air enter your lungs and what it is you must let go of to reset.
4. Hold your breath inside. Try not to clamp your mouth or nose shut.
5. Begin to slowly exhale, release what it is you must to reset and to show up as your greatest self.
