When stress and worry build up
Explore gentle breathing and grounding as ways to pause, notice tension and return your attention to the present.
Breathing · Meditation · Everyday wellbeing
Gentle practices to help you slow down, meet anxious thoughts with more awareness, and support healthier habits — one moment at a time.
The approach
Start with a breath, a point of attention, and a little kindness toward yourself.
Stress can follow us from one part of the day to the next. Worry, emotional fatigue and familiar habits can make it harder to find a moment of ease.
My World of Breathing & Relaxation explores comfortable breathing, meditation and present-moment awareness. The focus is practical: notice what is happening, make space for your experience, and choose a manageable next step.
You can keep your eyes open, use an external point of focus, or stop whenever you need. There is no perfect state of mind to achieve.
Educational wellness practices for adults. These practices may support everyday wellbeing; experiences vary. They are not medical or mental-health treatment and do not replace professional care for anxiety disorders, depression or nicotine dependence.
Explore gentle breathing and grounding as ways to pause, notice tension and return your attention to the present.
Make space for short meditation, self-compassion and a daily routine that feels manageable. Persistent low mood deserves professional support.
Practice noticing triggers and pausing before an automatic response. Use these skills alongside an evidence-based quit plan.
A moment for you
A short moment of attention, with no breath holding or forced deep breathing. Pick the focus that feels most comfortable today.
Keep your eyes open if you prefer. Stop if you feel dizzy, short of breath or more distressed. If attention to breathing feels uncomfortable, try grounding instead. Practice while resting, away from driving or water.

Mindful habit change
A practice of awareness, used alongside a quit plan. It does not guarantee that cravings will stop or that you will become nicotine-free.
Changing a familiar habit can be difficult. A moment of attention gives you something to practice when an urge appears.
You do not have to fight every thought or feel perfectly calm. The aim is to notice the moment and consider a next step that supports your plan.
Stop somewhere safe for a short moment. Let your breathing remain comfortable.
Name what is happening: “I’m noticing an urge.” Observe it without judging yourself.
Feel your feet, look at your surroundings, or notice a sound. Choose a focus that feels steady.
Take a step that fits your quit plan: change your surroundings, drink water, or contact a support person.
Give your quit plan evidence-based support. Mindfulness may be useful as a coping skill, but findings on quitting smoking are mixed. CDC guidance recommends counseling and medication together for the best chance of quitting smoking. Discuss appropriate options with a qualified clinician.

Good to know
What these practices can offer, how to approach them, and when another kind of support matters.
Gentle breathing and mindfulness practices may help some people manage everyday stress and develop awareness of thoughts, sensations and habits. Responses vary, and a practice that feels helpful to one person may not suit another.
Research covers many different methods and has limitations. We do not describe our programs as clinically proven or promise a specific health outcome. Learn more from NCCIH’s overview of meditation and mindfulness.
No. My World of Breathing & Relaxation provides education for general wellbeing. The programs are not treatment for anxiety disorders or depression and do not replace psychotherapy, prescribed medication or care from a qualified professional.
If anxiety, low mood or loss of interest persists, worsens, or affects your daily life, speak with a healthcare professional. Do not stop or change treatment because of these practices.
No result is guaranteed. Pause & Choose introduces ways to notice triggers and respond more thoughtfully to urges. It is supplementary education, not a stand-alone treatment for nicotine dependence.
Evidence that mindfulness helps people quit smoking is mixed. A clinician or a quitline can help you build an evidence-based plan. In the U.S., call 1-800-QUIT-NOW or explore Smokefree.gov.
Stop and return to comfortable natural breathing. You can keep your eyes open, focus on the room around you, or skip an exercise. Do not force your breathing or hold your breath.
Meditation can sometimes increase distress. If that happens, stop and seek suitable support. If a health condition, pregnancy, trauma history or ongoing treatment raises questions about suitability, ask a qualified healthcare professional before trying new practices.
