Keep breathing attention optional · S15.20

Choose an alternative when a combined practice does not fit

A breath-and-movement activity is uncomfortable, confusing, or unwanted.

Everyday practice

Try these steps

1. Identify which part does not suit you without needing to justify the preference.
2. Ask for a simpler, accessible, or non-body-focused alternative.
3. Choose the alternative or stop, following relevant individualized guidance for any clinical practice.

An example

I would prefer a written reflection to the movement exercise.

Reflect

Did the alternative serve your purpose?

Next time

Keep your preference available for future activities.
