Because sometimes you just need a reminder that you can get through this.

ArtiKen's Anxiety Sucks bracelet is your [un]official anxiety coach. Each bead is intentionally placed to guide you through the 4-7-8 breathing technique, a simple but powerful method used to calm the nervous system, reduce anxiety, and bring you back to the present moment.

How to do the 4-7-8 breathing technique:

• 4 green beads — Inhale slowly through your nose for 4 counts, one bead at a time. Green for growth, calm, and the breath entering your body.
• 7 yellow beads — Hold your breath for 7 counts. Yellow for the warmth and stillness of that pause — your body doing its quiet work.
• 8 white beads — Exhale completely through your mouth for 8 counts. White for release, clarity, and letting it go.
• Gold beads — Your reset markers. Take a moment, then begin again.

Most people find two to four cycles is all it takes to feel the shift.
