1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
receiving a first user input at a user interface of a user device to begin a breathing sequence;
determining, by the user device, a breath ratio for the breathing sequence based on a breathing profile, wherein the breath ratio corresponds to breath inhale time compared to breath exhale time; and
causing fluctuation of a fluctuating user interface element on a screen of the user device at a cyclic rate corresponding to the breath ratio, wherein the fluctuation comprises repeated growing and repeated shrinking of the fluctuating user interface element at the cyclic rate during the breathing sequence.
