Breathing Exercises for Anxiety


 

  1. Box Breathing: This technique involves inhaling, holding your breath, exhaling, and holding your breath again, each for a count of four. It's like drawing a box with your breath. It's a great way to focus your mind and slow your heart rate.
  2. 4-7-8 Breathing: Inhale for a count of 4, hold your breath for a count of 7, and then exhale for a count of 8. This method is known to have a calming effect and can help you fall asleep faster.
  3. Deep Breathing: Sit comfortably, close your eyes, and take a deep breath in through your nose. Hold it for a moment, then exhale through your mouth. Try to make your exhale longer than your inhale. This can help to reduce tension and stress.
