Using Koi Aid

Koi Aid is a set of short exercises to help you feel calmer when things feel like a lot. Open the menu, tap Activities, then tap Koi Aid. Everything in Koi Aid is free.

🌿 The exercises

1. Ground yourself: notice 5 things you can see, 4 you can touch, 3 you can hear, 2 you can smell, and 1 you can taste. Take your time with each step.
2. Deep breaths: three slow rounds of breathing in for 4, holding for 4, and breathing out for 4.
3. Body scan: 30 seconds to slowly relax each part of your body.
4. Cold water: 15 seconds of running cold water over your wrists.
5. Positive affirmation: a short, steadying affirmation to read aloud, slowly.
6. Gentle movement: 15 seconds to shake out your hands and roll your shoulders.

Try them in any order. When you finish one, take a moment to notice how you feel, then tap Back to exercises if you would like to try another.
