Having a mindful breathing stick is super helpful when you want to feel calm, peaceful, and relaxed. When you take a deep breath in and out, you are giving yourself a wonderful gift! When you practice mindful breathing, it will help during times when you feel overwhelmed, upset, or frustrated. You can make a mindful breathing stick for yourself, your family, and friends!
