Do your mornings begin in a rush — alarms blaring, thoughts racing, and screens lighting up your face?
Let’s change that.
This 3-minute morning breathing ritual is simple, gentle, and sets the tone for a day filled with calm, focus, and intention. It’s perfect for beginners and can be done right in bed or by your favorite window.
🌬️ The 3-Minute Breathing Ritual
🪟 Step 1: Find Stillness (30 seconds)
Sit or lie down comfortably.
Place one hand on your heart, the other on your belly.
Close your eyes.
Let go of any pressure to “do it right.”
Just be still.
🫁 Step 2: Box Breathing (2 minutes)
Try this calming breath technique:
Inhale through your nose for 4 counts
Hold for 4 counts
Exhale slowly through your mouth for 6 counts
Rest for 2 counts
Repeat this cycle for 5–6 rounds.
As you breathe, feel your breath grounding you, like roots settling into the earth.
✨ Step 3: Choose One Intention (30 seconds)
Ask yourself:
“How do I want to feel today?”
Choose a word:
Calm. Focused. Energized. Present. Grateful.
Whisper it to yourself three times.
Hold it like a quiet promise as your day begins.
🫖 Bonus Tip: Pair This with a Cup of Warm Herbal Tea
Create a ritual pairing — breath and tea — and you’ll look forward to this every morning.
