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.
