Downloaded the breathe gif. Useful when I am out and get stressed.cant remember the breath pace if I get panic outside my house. I use my light on my smoke detector as my breath Pacer because it blinks at just the right time.it has a green light and a red one.And it's something I can focus on. Like your breathing gif.
Thanks.

I use breathing/relax apps on my phone and fitbit. The smoke detector light sounds like a good idea. Whatever works to help us stay calm these days.

...it's terrible, sometimes I don't even realize I'm not breathing. Not good for the brain.

But until I can do that again, I'll rely on videos and breathing apps.

That will be in my imagination while I'm deep breathing.

I used to do this all the time.. Yoga & everything.. then I got out of the habit. I have to get back in!

I tried looking for it, but ended up on Facebook, where I emphatically don't want to be.

Like others who responded to you, I have a lot of trouble remembering to breathe deeply or breathe at all.

Thank you for your OP!
