★ Download the CALM or HEADSPACE apps for a variety of meditation exercises.... or simply search breathing exercises!
★ Try BOX BREATHING!
Imagine a box shaped like a perfect square. Each side equals a count of 4.
Breathe in for 4. Fill your belly and torso as full as you can.
Hold here for 4.
Breathe out for 4.
Empty your belly and torso as much as possible. Your belly should really push out. Hold here for 4.
Start over until you feel your racing thoughts calm and your mind settle.

Your body is made to move! Check out YOGA WITH ADRIENE on YouTube. Her videos are FREE and a great way to incorporate movement into your day. They are appropriate for all ages and she has some videos specifically for children.
Another great way to add movement to your day is to GO FOR A WALK. Walking outside gives you all the benefits of fresh air, time to think or process your feelings, and time to clear your mind if that's what you need!
Movement, no matter what kind you practice, is great for all ages. It also gives you a natural and healthy boost of endorphins which makes you feel amazing!
Try something that sounds good to you and get moving!
