It’s a fact that deep breathing can help reduce stress!
Try this Exercise:
- Put one hand on your heart, the other on your stomach.
- Take a deep breath.
- Does your chest or your stomach rise? If you're like most people, you said chest. But the most beneficial place for deep breathing is through your diaphragm.
- Breathe 5 seconds in, watching your stomach rise and then 5 seconds out squeezing the last breath out like the end of a tube of toothpaste.
