Calm Breathing

Calm Breathing

Calm breathing is a technique that helps you slow down your breathing when feeling stressed or anxious.


♦ Our breathing changes when we are feeling anxious. We tend to take short, quick, shallow breaths, or even hyperventilate; this is called “overbreathing"


♦ It is a good idea to learn techniques for managing “overbreathing”, because this type of breathing can actually make you feel even more anxious (e.g., due to a racing heart, dizziness, or headaches)


♦ Calm breathing is a great portable tool that you can use whenever you are feeling anxious. However, it does require some practice
