When you are starting to feel anxious or agitated, take deep breaths from your abdomen. Not from your chest, as this will trigger your fight or flight response. Breathing, especially shallow breaths from your chest, will increase your anxiety, but taking deep breaths using your abdomen or diaphragm will actually decrease the fight or flight response and calm you. This has been backed by medical research. Try it and give me your feedback. Am always interested in hearing your experiences.
