December can make your mind feel stretched in every direction — planning, organising, remembering, helping, hosting, and worrying. When your brain is juggling too much, it loses its sense of safety.
This is where micro-moments of calm matter.
One minute is enough to change your internal state. Try this simple practice:
- Close your eyes.
- Inhale slowly to a count of four.
- Exhale to a count of six.
- Repeat three times.
This tiny pattern tells your nervous system, “Everything is okay.”
It interrupts overwhelm and helps your thoughts settle.
Hypnotherapy often begins with small skills like this — tools you can use anywhere, anytime — to bring your mind back into balance.
