Four Slow Breaths, Twice a Day

Before dinner and before bed, try this together: in for four counts, hold for four, out for four. Four rounds, that's it. No need to time it to the second, just slow the air down. Do it side by side on the couch or the balcony rail. It won't fix a hard day, but it softens the landing. Small, steady, shared — the kind of habit that asks nothing of you but a minute and a little quiet.
