Feeling anxious? Breathe out longer than you breathe in – It activates the parasympathetic nervous system to calm you.
That's a great tip! Long exhales signal to your body that it's safe to relax, reducing stress and lowering your heart rate. If you're feeling anxious, try the 4-7-8 breathing technique:
- Inhale through your nose for 4 seconds
- Hold your breath for 7 seconds
- Exhale slowly through your mouth for 8 seconds
Repeating this a few times can help bring calmness. Are you feeling anxious about something specific?
