Breathing exercises
🔵 Wellness practice🟢 Evidence-based
Slow, relaxed breathing can help many people feel calmer in the moment. It is a self-care skill, not a treatment for serious illness.
Breathe gently through your nose if comfortable. Never force or hold your breath. If you feel dizzy, stop and breathe normally.
Ready
Rhythm: breathe in for 4 counts, out for 6 counts. Out-breaths slightly longer than in-breaths feel calming for many people.
