- Job loss can trigger grief, shame, and panic simultaneously. This breath is for right now.
- Sit wherever you are. Feet flat on the floor, hands resting on your thighs.
- Inhale for 4 counts — steady and deliberate, not rushed.
- Hold for 4 counts. During the hold, name one thing in your life that is stable.
- Exhale for 4 counts, releasing catastrophic thoughts. You have navigated difficulty before.
如何练习
- 失业可能同时触发悲伤、羞耻和恐慌。这个呼吸是为了当下。
- 坐在你所在的地方。双脚平放在地板上，双手放在大腿上。
- 稳定而刻意地吸气4拍，不要匆忙。
- 屏息4拍。屏息期间，说出生活中一件稳定的事情。
- 呼气4拍，释放灾难性的想法。你以前曾度过困难。
