 How Deep Breathing Exercise Helps Reduce Anxiety  By
Steve George Verghese Modified 21 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Taking deep breaths is enough to fight anxious feelings (Image via Unsplash/Max Van Den Oetelaar) Anxiety is the body's natural response to stressful situations like public speaking or taking a test. Although it is a normal part of life, it can become a problem if it interferes with a person's daily activities or if they don't know how to deal with their anxious feelings.

Controlling one's breathing is crucial to managing the symptoms of anxiety. People typically take slow, deep breaths. However, when people experience anxiety, their breathing becomes shallower and faster, which leads to problems.

Deep breathing involves intentionally taking in slow, deep breaths. The person inhales the air through their nose and exhales it through their mouth.

When a person inhales, their blood cells absorb oxygen and transport it throughout their body. Simultaneously, carbon dioxide is produced and transported back to the lungs, where it is released when a person exhales. Anxiety causes people to take fast, shallow breaths, which disrupts the way the body processes oxygen and carbon dioxide.

However, breathing enables the body to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, allowing it to relax again. Deep breathing is effective as it is capable of reversing the aforementioned physiological changes which lead to lowered feelings of anxiety.

They then have to gently breathe in through their noses while keeping their mouths closed. They have to do this for roughly 6 seconds while making sure that their lungs don't fill up with too much air. After the previous steps, they will then have to exhale for six seconds while allowing their body to release the breath slowly and gently without forcing it.

One way a person can practice mindfulness is through deep breathing. People who practice mindfulness breathing focus on their breathing while paying attention to the present moment. Those suggested by therapists or wanting to practice mindful breathing will have to make sure that their minds do not drift off to past or future events but rather focus on the present.

People can choose to focus on calming sounds, phrases, and words while they inhale or exhale. The focus of this deep breathing technique is for the person to let go of their struggles and worries in order to relax. If they notice their thoughts wandering, they can take a deep breath and bring their attention back to the present moment.
