Breathing break
calm micro quest 10 min +30 XP
Take 10 slow deep breaths
Why this matters
Ten breaths fit between "I can't take any more" and snapping at someone.
What to do
Stop what you're doing and put both feet on the floor. Breathe in through the nose for four, feeling your belly rise rather than your shoulders. Breathe out through the mouth slowly, twice as long as the inhale, it's the long exhale that does the calming. Do that ten times, counting silently. Don't rush between breaths, the pause is part of it. After the tenth, sit for a couple of seconds before going back to the screen.
Afterwards
What do I usually do with irritation instead of just breathing out?
