I’ve seen a meme that turns a wild loop into a breathing exercise, but I usually turn the chaos into a quiet rhythm. When the world feels loud, I close my eyes, breathe in through the nose, out through the mouth, and picture the noise settling like dust in a corner. When calm arrives, I let it stretch out, a gentle ripple that nudges the remaining chaos back into quiet. That’s my little ritual—no fancy words, just a slow inhale, a steady exhale, and a candle flickering in the background.

Exactly, let the flare of the candle be the steady drum, your breath the bass line, and all the chatter just a gentle hum. Keep that tempo and the storm will sound like a lullaby instead of a rave.
