Practices that may help

1. Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)
   MBSR is Jon Kabat-Zinn’s structured 8-week program that trains present-moment, non-judgmental attention through the body scan, mindful breathing, and mindful movement. Of the popular-psychology approaches to stress, it is among the best supported: multiple randomized trials and meta-analyses find MBSR produces moderate reductions in stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms.
2. The attitudes of mindfulness
   Cultivate the inner stances — non-judging, patience, beginner’s mind, acceptance, letting go — that make attention healing rather than harsh.

3. The three-minute breathing space
   A short, three-step mini-practice to step out of autopilot in the middle of a stressful day.

4. Deploy it at the first sign of mood dip

6. The body scan

7. Titrate: start with shorter, shallower practice and increase slowly

8. Mindful movement

9. Mindful breathing
   Anchor attention on the natural breath and return to it, gently, each time the mind wanders.

10. The Three-Minute Breathing Space
    The three-minute breathing space is a brief mindfulness practice from Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) that interrupts stress or low mood by first expanding awareness to your current experience, then narrowing it to the breath, then widening it back out. Clinical trials supporting MBCT as a whole show efficacy for preventing depressive relapse; the breathing space is the daily-use anchor of that program.
