Welcome to Day 6 of our October Mindfulness Challenge! Today’s practice is a classic and widely used technique: counting the breath.

This simple yet powerful exercise helps you anchor your attention, especially during moments of stress or overwhelm. By counting each breath — forward and backward — you create a rhythm that naturally calms the mind and brings clarity to your day.

🧘‍♀️ What you’ll experience today:

A breath-focused practice for grounding and relaxation
Counting techniques to deepen awareness
A tool you can return to anytime you need to reset

Whether you’re seated, standing, or on the move, this practice is always available to you.
