Breathing Exercise
Deep breathing is a simple
technique that’s excellent
for managing emotions.
Not only is deep breathing effective, it’s also discreet and easy to use at any time or place.
Sit comfortably and place one hand on your abdomen. Breathe in through your nose, deeply enough that the hand on your abdomen rises.
Hold the air in your lungs, and then exhale slowly through your mouth, with your lips puckered as if you are blowing through a straw.
The secret is to go slow: Time the inhalation (4s), hold (4s), and exhalation (6s).
Practice for 3 to 5 minutes.
