Deep breathing.
This is another way in which we can gain control over our breathing and use deeper, slower breaths to help calm ourselves and reduce the feelings of anxiety.

 Try the following deep breathing technique:

  • Sit comfortably.
  • Place one hand on your abdomen just under your rib cage and the other on your upper chest
  • Breathe in slowly through your nose for 4, hold for 4 and release for 4. Go slowly. You should be able to feel your abdomen rise and fall as you breathe.
  • The hand on your chest should remain still, while the one on under your ribcage should rise

Breathing.
Anxiety can cause shortness of breath because your body is making preparations to fight its way out of trouble or run from it and prepares by getting more oxygen to your muscles. This is natural but can feel really frightening. Exercises which slow your breathing will signal that there isn’t a threat and your body can therefore stand down.
 
Try the 3, 4, 5 technique to slow your breathing down:
  • in for 3
  • hold for 4
  • out for 5.
