If it's safe, close your eyes and take a deep, conscious breath.

Are you tired of the hustle culture telling you that your valued is tied to your productivity?

Well, today, we'll break that cycle.

This is your 10-minute non-sleep deep rest inspired session, specifically for self-love

and radical self-acceptance.

We aren't just fixing anxiety.

We're returning to the core of who you are.

I'm Martin. I'm a clinical hypnotherapist, former paramedic,

and welcome to calming anxiety, and the journey home to yourself begins now.

I've spent a lifetime in high-pressure environments from the back of an ambulance to my therapy rooms.

I know what it's like when the world feels like it's too much.

If you're looking for support, let's dive in.

So find your quiet place now where you won't be disturbed.

You can sit or lie down whichever you prefer.

Headphones as well if you like.

We'll begin today with box breathing, a technique used by elite performers to downregulate the nervous system and trigger

Ready? Here we go. To breathe in.

In two, three, four. Hold, two, three, four.
