When I was a child, one of my aunties would have strategically placed post-it notes throughout her flat. They’d be on walls, cabinets, bookcases, and mirrors at the height of her face. They would all say, “BREATHE” or “Don’t forget to breathe!” or “Breathe into this space” with a little plus sign underneath.

I recently put one up myself:
