We catch anxiety or calm from other people.

Mirror neurons in our brain help to explain this

We develop emotional self-regulation when we are exposed to people who are well-regulated.

We enjoy being around people who are calm, they are present with relaxed breathing.

Stress and anxiety are like a rain barrel - when we're close to the top edge, anything pushes us over.

These powerful practices lower our stress level

It takes time for anxious patterns to develop and it can take time to heal them

When we do regular practice, things shift quickly. Our breath and our nervous system become regulated.

Be patient, kind and keep practicing.
