Just Breathe - A 7-Day Journal for Easing Anxiety and Stress

If your head is busy and your chest feels tight, start here.

Just Breathe is a seven day journal. One short reading each morning, one simple breath practice, and room to write down what you notice.

It asks for about ten minutes a day. That's it.

What you'll actually do

You'll learn one breathing pattern. Four seconds in, six seconds out, three minutes a day. It isn't complicated and it isn't meant to be. What changes things isn't the technique, it's returning to it.

Alongside it you'll track how your breath feels morning, afternoon and evening, so by the end of the week you can see your own patterns written down in front of you.

The seven days

One. Welcome and intentions. What brought you here.

Two. Listening to your body. Your body isn't broken, it's trying to help.

Three. The power of the breath. Where it flows easily and where it feels held.

Four. Your first practice. Four in, six out.

Five. You can't get this wrong. Some days it's deep and easy, some days it isn't.

Six. Integration. What's shifted, even slightly.

Seven. The journey ahead. Where you're drawn next.

Who it's for

Anyone who feels wound up, overwhelmed, or just slightly out of step with their own life. You don't need any experience. You don't need to be any good at sitting still.

It's a beginning, not a fix. But it's a real beginning, and it's yours to keep.

What you get

A nine page interactive PDF you can fill in on a screen or print out and write on. Yours forever, on any device.
