Take 5 minutes to focus on your breathing

Gently close your eyes or keep a soft gaze with your spine in an upright position, place one hand on your belly. Slowly inhale through your nose for a count of 7 seconds. Feel your belly rise, imagining a balloon filling up with air. Once you have reached 7 seconds, hold your breath for one second and then slowly release the exhale through your nose for 7 complete seconds. Repeat 5 times.
