Nature Breaks: Simple Mindful Breathing Practices to Boost Your Mood

Take a moment to pause. In just one minute, you can reset your mind, release tension, and feel a little lighter; no matter where you are. Our Nature Break videos guides you with a simple 5-second inhale, 5-second exhale routine, paired with calming nature visuals.

Experience the Moment
Press play on the video. Follow the on-screen breath guide: inhale for 5 seconds, exhale for 5 seconds. As you breathe, let yourself notice the sights, sounds, and textures around you. Imagine the scent of the forest, the ocean breeze, or the morning dew. Small sensory details help anchor your awareness and deepen the reset.

Why It Works
This short mindful pause is inspired by practices like forest bathing (Shinrin-yoku) and mindful nature observation. Research shows that brief moments immersed in nature (real or virtual) can:

• Reduce stress and lower cortisol levels
• Improve mental clarity and focus
• Increase feelings of calm and overall well-being
• Support your mood and energy for the rest of the day

Mantra / Thought to Hold
Repeat quietly to yourself while breathing:

• “I am grounded. I am present.”
• “I expand with ease, like the ocean.”
• “I breathe in renewal. I release tension.”

Tips for Making It Part of Your Day

• Pause before a meeting, after a long task, or anytime the day feels overwhelming.
• Pair with a mindful snack or a gummy from your favorite mood-supporting line (optional).
• Save the video for a daily ritual, just one minute can reset your mind.
