Laughter is the highest form of meditation and breathing. This is a great laughter exercise to reset ourselves is that we can use the five fingers. So the big breath in, you just hold your hand out like your opened hand and take a breath in up your thumb. And giggle out, big breath in, going at the index finger now, and giggle out the ring finger and come down the other side, giggle it out. And then the other finger, big breath in and giggle it out, little finger, breathe in. And giggling Odie. We call that the hand laughter. You can use this anywhere when you're sitting at work, when you're walking, wherever. You can do a silent laughter if you're in a place where you can't laugh out loud. You can laugh silently and just go up into your hands. And remind yourself and just breathe five times. And this will reset you again. If you're feeling anxious, if you're feeling depressed, if you're feeling before coming on to a podcast, like I'm here feeling a little anxious and nervous, excited energy, I will breathe out my palm, my just breathe out my five breaths from my palm and reset me to keep me in balance.
