Easy breathing exercises to reduce stress| TheNewsTribe.com

When you undergo anxiety your body experience a huge change. One way to mitigate anxiety is to do breathing exercises which helps calm you down.

However, it is also important to know the correct techniques when it comes to breathing exercises. Breathing just through your chest won’t do you any favors, this sort of shallow breathing simply disturbs the stability of carbon dioxide and oxygen, which is required to be in a relaxed state.

Here are three simple breathing exercises to calm anxiety.

For this technique, one can sit or stand, whatever is more comfortable. Ensure that your body isn’t rigid. Relax your hands, shoulders and face. Begin by breathing in slowly through the nose and count till five.

Your tummy needs to expand when you breathe in. Hold for two seconds and breathe out slowly as you count till five. Repeat this for about 15 to 20 minutes and see how you calm down.

Aimed at lowering anxiety and stress levels, this technique is another quick way to calm yourself. Begin by relaxing your shoulders. Constrict your throat slightly so you can hear your breathing. Use your fingers to cover your eyes and ears. Keep your lips and teeth slightly open and when you exhale, make a slight sound. Repeat this exercise 10 to 12 times.

Find yourself constantly getting anxiety attacks? This breathing technique helps your mind and body get back into a state of equilibrium. Start by slowly breathing through your nose. Your body has to be loose and relaxed.

Place one hand on your stomach and one on your chest. Make sure your stomach expands more than your chest. Slowly exhale through your mouth, but keep your lips shut slightly. A sound may emerge from your mouth when you exhale.

Pay attention to every breath and blank out your surroundings. Keep doing this exercise for about 15 minutes.
