I love to sigh.

And when you invite somebody to, you know, okay, let's just sigh with frustration together.

It's kind of fun.

It brings a little sort of, oh, yeah, that was a good one.

So we sigh in frustration all the time.

And sometimes that can just reorganize that chaotic energy a bit in sympathetic anxiety and anger that we have.

If we sigh when we're hopeless or sigh when we're like giving up, it brings a bit of energy back in.

And then I love the sighs of relief and contentment when I found my way back to Ventral.

Oh, let's just, let's celebrate this with a sigh, right?

So I think people love sighing.

It seems like a fun thing to do.

So I do it with my grandkids.

I say, oh, come on, let's all sigh.

And they pick which kind of size so then we can play around with it.

And I didn't write a ton about breath practices because there are so many people who are doing really brilliant breath practices and lots of breath for kids books that are written.

So you can find the one that fits.

And I guess I would like to say that our nervous systems have a comment about things when we say, these are the five things to try.

And this is where I started making...

personal menu so i want you to make your personal menu because i kept getting in my inbox five things to survive social distancing at the beginning of the pandemic and it was like three of them my nervous system said no thank you that won't work and one of them was a maybe and one was a yes and i thought oh is there something wrong with me so the answer is no there's nothing wrong with you right that there's just your nervous system saying yes no or maybe

So when you pick up a book that has breath practices, it might work for you, but you want to explore with the person you want to try it with and say, how does your nervous system respond?
