Tara Parker-Pope shared UNWINDING ANXIETY author Judson Brewer’s five-finger breathing exercise for Day 6 of The New York Times’s “Fresh Start Challenge.” She writes: “Dr. Brewer, who is also a neuroscientist, says it’s important to remember that your brain is like a computer, and it has only a certain amount of working memory. Anxiety, worry and other negative emotions can take over, giving your brain less room for other tasks that require thinking and problem solving... Dr. Brewer suggests five-finger breathing because it’s a multisensory task.” Avery published UNWINDING ANXIETY on March 9, 2021.
