Sit comfortably with your back straight
Close your eyes or soften your gaze
Set a timer for 5 minutes
Take a slow deep breath in through your nose
Exhale slowly through your mouth or nose
Focus on your breath moving in and out
Notice thoughts without reacting to them
Gently return attention to your breath whenever your mind wanders
Keep your body still and relaxed
Continue breathing calmly until the timer ends
Open your eyes slowly when finished
