When Everything Feels Like Too Much

Some days nothing goes right, and your whole body feels braced for the next thing. This 5-minute guided meditation is for those moments. It won't ask you to fix anything or force yourself to feel better. Instead, you'll use simple, science-backed tools to help your nervous system settle: orienting to your surroundings, the double-inhale "sigh" breath, and gentle hand-on-body support. Come as you are, take a real breath, and give yourself a moment before you face whatever's next.
