Deep Breathing!
Focusing on your breath helps you to concentrate on slow deep breathing which aids in separating you from distracting thoughts. It can help clear your mind when you're feeling anxious too!
Begin by finding a quiet, comfortable place to sit or lie down. Begin by taking a normal breath. Now lets try a deep breath:
Breathe in slowly through your nose, allowing your chest and lower belly to rise as you fill your lungs. Let your belly expand fully.
Now breathe out slowly through your mouth (or your nose, if that feels more natural). Breathe in….. and Exhale out….. Breathe in….. and Exhale out….. Breathe in….. and Exhale out…..
Keep breathing slowly like this, emptying your lungs completely with each breath. Your deep breathing calms and relaxes you…allowing your body to relax, getting just the right amount of oxygen, and helping you feel calm…. Breathe in….. and Exhale out….. Breathe in….. and Exhale out….. Breathe in….. and Exhale out…..
Continue breathing in slowly through your nose, allowing your chest and belly to rise. You may want to place your hand on your belly as you breathe in and feel the hand rise each time you inhale and fall back each time you exhale. Remember to relax your belly so that each inhalation expands fully. Breathe in….. and Exhale out….. Breathe in….. and Exhale out….. Breathe in….. and Exhale out…..
Keep breathing smoothly and calmly. You can breathe like this any time, drawing in relaxation, releasing any tension that accumulates through the day. Breathe in….. and Exhale out….. Breathe in….. and Exhale out….. Breathe in….. and Exhale out…..
Lets focus now on the word Relax mentally saying Relax each time you breathe in and each time you exhale. Breathe in….Relax, and Exhale out… Relax,.. Breathe in…. Relax,. and Exhale out… Relax,.. Breathe in… Relax,.. and Exhale out… Relax,..
Every day, your breathing can relax you, making you strong and resilient, able to cope with the stressors that come your way. Breathe in….Relax, and Exhale out… Relax,.. Breathe in…. Relax,. and Exhale out… Relax,.. Breathe in… Relax,.. and Exhale out… Relax,..
And now..knowing that you can recall and practice this deep breathing exercise whenever you wish… begin to bring your awareness back orienting yourself to your surroundings. Breathe normally.
You may now return to your usual activities, feeling calm and relaxed. Have a wonderful relaxing day. :)
How does deep breathing work for you and what does it help you with? 
@LisaDeRegtMBPsS Taking deep breaths has helped me relax when having a major breakdown.
@caitanya
It is so basic and often we forget to do it. When we get anxious we can feel all of that tension in our body usually stored in our chests and that shows we are shallow breathing so to breathe deeply fills our brains with all of those amazing nutrients we were starved off when we felt anxious.
Remember we are here for you :)
