Practice deep breathing with Autumn: taking slow, deep, steady breaths can help slow the body down and send the signal to your mind that it's okay to turn off the alarm and relax.

Practice PMR with Kelsey: relax your whole body from the top of your head, all the way down to your toes, by systematically tensing and relaxing muscles throughout your body.

Note: you may need to skip any areas where you have injuries or medical issues. You can either concentrate on your breathing, or repeat a different part during that segment. You should also not experience any pain or cramping during this exercise. If you are, you may either need to tense that muscle more gently, or modify the exercise.

(For the most effective experience, practice the full version.)
