Deep Breathing
Deep breathing is a relaxation technique that involves taking long, slow breaths to improve physical and mental well-being. When you inhale deeply, your diaphragm expands, allowing more oxygen to enter your lungs, which can help reduce stress, lower heart rate, and promote calmness. It activates the body’s relaxation response, countering the effects of stress and anxiety. Practicing deep breathing can be beneficial in various situations, such as before a test, during a stressful moment, or as part of a meditation practice, enhancing focus and promoting overall emotional health.
