Self Help: Tips To Reduce Stress Through Breathing

Everyday we breathe without consciously aware how we actually do it. Breathing technique is very important in any form of exercise. During an exercise, experts always tell us to exhale upon exertion and inhale upon release. The reason for this is to lower the risk of getting injured internally.

A simple inhaling and exhaling act can be very effective to reduce stress. Next time, when you feel overwhelmed by something, try this exercise… Shift your attention to your breathing. Sit up with your spine straight and your head facing forward. Inhale slowly through your nose and exhale through your mouth.

As you inhale and exhale, feel your breath as it circulates your nose and mouth. Notice how your chest or belly rises and falls. This will immediately slow down your heart rate and calm you down. You will feel better and more prepared to cope with the situation at hand. This technique of reducing stress through breathing is simple to do yet very effective. Try it, it works!
