The recommended exercises include recognizing and following the in-breath and out-breath, recognizing the body, relaxing the body by releasing tensions, practicing total relaxation, recognizing each part of the body with compassion, managing strong emotions like fear and anger, practicing mindful breathing to calm the mind, and using mindfulness to check perceptions before reacting.
