How are you getting on so far?
One of the cool things that happens when people use Do Breathe regularly is that even when they’re not using the app, they tend to breathe more slowly.
But to be able to use your breath effectively when you suddenly need it - to bring you out of a negative spiral or give your mind a break - you do need to practice regularly. Your breathing is like a muscle and the more you practice, the more effective it gets.
If you’re getting into it, maybe try and Do Breathe longer and more often.
Say 3 minute sessions, 3 times a day?
If you’re finding it hard to remember, start small.
Make the duration only one minute. And start just once a day.
We know it can be hard to get into a new habit, so here are some simple ideas to help.

3 things to note
1. Link to existing habits
2. Start small
3. Track your progress
You never know when you need to be fully present. Or which moments will matter most? Make sure you’re ready to respond well to whatever life brings your way. Do Breathe, every day.
