Breathing is a fact of life – we breathe without even noticing it. In fact, we normally breathe up to 20 times a minute! But it doesn’t affect our lives or tasks because we’re so used to doing it.
However, we think that we take breathing for granted. Everyone is guilty of doing so, but we need to appreciate it more often.
Have you ever noticed that when you focus on your breathing you can feel more relaxed? This is because your brain is focused on something monotonous rather than any stressful situation that is currently occupying your mind.
You might even be able to notice how your breathing changes while you’re noticing it.
If this is how your body reacts when you simply take note of your usual breathing, imagine how it would react if you were to incorporate breathing techniques into your life?
Breathing techniques can help you to relax and calm yourself down when you’re worked up about something.
Life events that you’re getting ready for, a stressful situation at work, or getting ready to speak in front of a crowd are among the reasons why people get so stressed on a daily basis.
75% of adults feel moderate to high levels of stress every month, and this could be helped with regular breathing exercises.
We’re not saying that learning a breathing technique is going to magically wipe away all of your stress or lessen the effects of a panic disorder.
Extreme stress can be managed with the help of professionals, not only inhaling and exhaling in a certain way.
However, many people have found success with breathing techniques like the ones that we have listed below.
We are included, as we have found that breathing exercises have helped us to manage our anxiety until our trigger is behind us.
So, if you are feeling anxious, stressed, worried, frustrated, or angry – you might just benefit from learning a breathing exercise.
They’re very simple and quick to learn and you can repeat them as many times as you personally need.
