Mindfulness, breathing and journaling

These guides cover mindfulness, breathing exercises, journaling and gratitude: what each involves, how to start, and where they fit alongside therapy.

Mindfulness can sound as if it needs incense, silence and hours of free time. It doesn't. You can practise it for a minute or two in an ordinary Nigerian day, whatever your faith. The same goes for slow breathing before an exam, or writing down three good things each night. These are skills, and they get easier with practice.

Start with mindfulness for beginners, then try breathing techniques for stress relief or journaling to clear your head.

These practices are useful for everyday stress, but they don't replace treatment when anxiety or low mood won't lift. A therapist who works with mindfulness and somatic approaches can bring them into your sessions on Mytherapist.ng, by video, voice or chat.
