Breathing exercises for Stress

Before you do these exercises, it is important to do the following:
Choose a secure and quiet location. Your bed, living room floor, outside, in a chair, on the couch. Wherever makes you comfortable and feel safe and undisturbed.

 Attempt to do it a few times a day and try to do it at the same time if possible.

 Do not force your breathing. Let it come naturally.

 It is also important to wear something comfortable, this will, of course, help you relax more.

Below are some helpful breathing exercises for you to enjoy when you are feeling stress or even frustrated!

Go to your comfortable location and position. For this exercise, you can either sit up straight or lie on your back.

Begin to breathe in and out, deeply through your nose.

To feel the expansion while you are breathing, place one hand on your chest and the other one on your belly.

As you are doing all this, you should feel your belly and chest both expand or rise. The belly should be able to rise more than the chest does.

You may keep doing this as long as you feel is needed.

Begin this exercise by close your eyes, this can help you stay calm and relaxed.

Start taking a few deep breathes, in and out.

As you are breathing in, try to imagine air giving you a sense of calm and filling your body with it entirely.

While you are breathing out, imagine all the stress and tension in your body is now leaving.

Continue doing this for about 10 minutes. If you need to, you can do it longer. While you are doing this, come up with a few words to stay to yourself as you breathe in and out. For example, "I breathing harmony and calm" and "I breathe out stress and tension(anxiety, pressure, etc)".
