Simple 3 Second Calm Connection Self-Care Practices

3 Second Breathing Practice

take34u today and connect to your life giving breath.

If it's safe to do so close your eyes and bring your focus to your breath.

Breathe in for the count of 1,

Breathe out for the count of 2.

Repeat until you feel calmer.

This simple exercise works as it gently elongates your out breath which naturally relaxes and calms you and lowers your heart rate just a little.

To strengthen your self connection and self communication even more with this practice you can say silently to yourself in rhythm with your breath:

"1 pink elephant" on your in breath and

"2 pink elephants, 3 pink elephants" on your out breath.

Each of these pink elephant counts will take you around one second so all together it takes about 3 seconds to complete.

3 Second Check In

take34u today and check in with how you're feeling.

If it's safe to do so close your eyes to minimize distractions and ask yourself: "How do I feel?"

When you ask yourself the question you may hear a word, feel something, see a picture or something else and if you haven't checked in with yourself for a while you may not notice anything.

Whatever happens is perfect for you in the moment.

Gently notice whatever happens and remember that it is just for this moment, your emotions and feelings ebb and flow like the waves and will pass in time.

If something big comes up for you then reach out for support there are so many of us here for you and ready to support you whenever you need it.

Seek help from your loved ones, health professionals, helplines and of course I'm here to help you to the very best of my ability too.

With practice you will notice an answer faster and every repetition builds the strength of your self connection, self awareness and propels your journey to greater self acceptance and self love.

Repeat throughout the day and week for maximum benefit.

3 Second Smile Boost

Our Story

As Liz Clifton was rehabilitating their first Romanian rescue dog Zara she discovered that she was also rehabilitating herself.

She slowly and gently began to release a series of old personal losses, guilt, hurt and fear which had left her historically feeling not good enough, lost and alone.

Together she and Zara released their old stresses, tension, emotional baggage, anxiety, worry, frustration and sadness and began to reconnect to themselves and each other.

They strengthened their self awareness, self understanding, self belief, self trust and self confidence and found their voices which empowered them to start making their own choices.

In a shared moment of Animal Reiki connection on Liz's kitchen floor she felt a universal nudge to start supporting others to do the same and the take34u mission and Family Dog Connection Limited were conceived.

Her mission is to empower at least 3 million individuals of any species to create their clear, calm, connected, confidence and communication to choose to be themselves with anyone, anywhere at any time and enjoy at least 3 minutes of daily self-care joy.

She then retrained adding extra coaching, hypnosis and Timeline Therapy® qualifications to her certifications and started offering inspirational workshops and events to support others to get started on their own journeys to clear, calm, connection and enjoy utilizing their voice and choice.

Having already helped thousands of parents, animal guardians, entrepreneurs and small business owners to get a little calmer and more connected she loves the ripple effect that occurs when an individual starts to transform themselves.

She has witnessed many people's relationships, businesses and dreams blossom and bloom as they begin taking responsibility for themselves and looking after themselves first.

And she has discovered that just creating and taking 3 seconds a day can make huge differences to your sense of calm, your emotional, mental, physical and spiritual health, wellness and wellbeing.
