Sips are a practice that can be helpful for calming yourself (activating your parasympathetic nervous system and your vagus nerve).

Simply take a big breath in through your nose and then, just when your lungs are full take a little extra sip in. Then let it all out through your mouth. Repeat this five times or for three minutes as you choose.

This takes less than 30 seconds; it is useful as you start to feel elevated/ stressed or ahead of time if you are about to enter a difficult situation.
