For Self-management

Take a breather – When you are stressed or anxious, you breathing tends to be fast and short. You may not even be aware of how fast you are breathing, and of the effects this breathing has on your heart.

This kind of rapid breathing is called chest breathing which upsets the carbon dioxide and oxygen levels in your body. When this happens, you will feel dizzy, your heart rate increases, and feel other physical sensations like fatigue.

The abdominal breathing is what you use when you are in a relaxed mode. So, when you feel stressed, perform this relaxation exercise which you can do sitting, lying down, or standing:

Relax your shoulders and take a deep and slow breath through your nose. Hold this for a few seconds. You will notice your abdomen expand and the chest to rise a little.

Release the air through your mouth slowly. When releasing air, open your mouth slightly and relax the jaw. You will hear a whooshing sound as you release the air.

Repeat the exercise several times.
