As you breathe in, silently say 'Wise' to yourself and as you breathe out, silently say 'Mind'. Practice this breathing exercise as many times as you need to in order to reach a place of relaxation and focus, then decide how you want to proceed.

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) uses the concept of a reasonable, emotional, and wise mind to describe a person's thoughts and behaviors. The reasonable mind is driven by logic, the emotional mind is driven by feelings, and wise mind is a middle-ground between the two.

This technique is useful for when you have overwhelming feelings or anxiety and you need to calm down. Wise mind involves two steps, the first one is to observe your surroundings, the second is to describe what you see. You do this while accepting your feelings and not judging yourself.

You might have a sense that you're stepping back from the situation. Some people experience wise mind when making a decision that they know is absolutely the right thing to do. They know they are in wise mind because they don't have any sense of dread or anxiety. There is absolutely no doubt.

Some examples of Wise Mind could include taking a timeout in the middle of a fight to avoid saying something you don't mean, following your gut and not walking in a dark alley at night, or finding time to meditate during a stressful workday and taking care of yourself.

Wise Mind is a state of mind in which you experience yourself as being calm, centered, and in control of your emotions. In Wise Mind, you act in ance with your beliefs, principles, and values which deepens feelings of coherence and integrity.

Wise mind is often described as the meeting of emotional mind and reasonable mind. It is the synthesis of considering both emotions and rationality.
