Deep Breathing Exercises
Breathing slowly and deeply would immediately reduce the levels of stress. Many people often practice exhaling at quick rates, drawing breath to their lungs, and breathing in the shallow chest. When you feel stressed, you often breathe more quickly, which would stress you out even more. In these cases, try to breathe from the belly or diaphragm with your stomach ballooning up. Breathing deeply would help you take in more air and bring many benefits such as calming down, relaxing muscles, and decreasing blood pressure. [3]
