Take a breath.

Taking a deep breath isn’t as simple as inhaling and exhaling. Diaphragmatic breathing, also known as “calm breathing”, helps you slow down your breathing to reduce anxiousness during stressful situations. When you are in a "fight-or-flight" situation, your body automatically signals your heart to beat faster and your breathing becomes rapid.  When you are able to control your breathing, you are able to control your body’s automatic response to stressful situations.  Learn to train your body and mind to better control those difficult and stressful situations and psychosomatic conditions.
