Mindful breathing can reduce stress and anxiety, while increasing calm, positive emotions. 🧘‍♀️ Use our mindfulness cards in the study accessories areas, found in both libraries, to give you a boost! ☺️ #Mindfulness #Wellbeing

@gardnerstuart39 We all need a little breather at times ☺️

@ChurLibrary Well getting stressed this time of year might take your mind off things a bit
