🌬️ 4-7-8 Breathing

Breathe in 4 seconds, hold 7 seconds, breathe out 8 seconds. Repeat 3 times.

💪 Tense and release

Tense your shoulders hard for 5 seconds, then release all at once. Feel the difference!

😮 The yawn

Do 3 big yawns (even fake ones). This relaxes the jaw and throat.

🔄 Head roll

Gently turn your head left and right, then make circles. Relaxes the neck.
