In moments of stress, your breathing often becomes shallow and rapid — feeding anxiety and tension. Deep breathing is one of the simplest, most effective ways to calm your mind and body.
How to Practice:
- Find a quiet space. Sit comfortably with your back straight.
- Inhale slowly through your nose for a count of four.
- Hold your breath for a count of four.
- Exhale gently through your mouth for a count of six.
- Repeat for 3–5 minutes, focusing only on your breath.
Why it Works:
Deep breathing sends a signal to your nervous system that it’s safe to relax. This lowers your heart rate, reduces blood pressure, and helps release physical tension.
Tip: You can practice deep breathing anywhere — at your desk, on public transport, or before bed — for instant stress relief.
