​Ten Minute (3 – 3 – 3) calming and realigning mediation.

The only thing you really need for this is some sort of three-minute timer and a glass of water.
The timer I use on my phone is free, easy to use and has multiple settings including intermittent adjustable times.  I have included an image of the app in google play store so you can find it easily.
If you wish and are in a comfortable location, you can light a candle.  A small birthday candle is nice, as it will be burned out by the time you are done.

Set the timer for 3 minutes, I have mine set to chime every minute.  Get a glass of water and sit.  Sip the water slowly and constantly, while thinking of only things in the room with you.  The water, the seat, your feet on the floor, the sound of the fan, etc. 

Reset the timer for 3 minutes and stand, feet flat on the floor.  Move your upper body slowly and comfortably.  Rotate your neck, stretch your arms and back, dance in place, bend and stretch, whatever feels good to you.  Keep your feet flat on the floor.

Reset the timer for 3 minutes, sit, eyes closed.  Focus only on your breath, your body, your skin. 

It’s a basic short reset for your mind.  It’s difficult for the brain to have an anxiety reaction while drinking water.  It starts calming your system.  When you get up to move, you engage a different portion of your mind, further removing you from the focus of the anxiety.
