Releasing Stress By Breathing Technique
Deep breathing exercise will increase the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the body. This will help you to calm down.
- Stand up while putting your legs far apart (well, not too far or you might fall)
- Make sure your hands stay freely on either side of your body. Shake them a little.
- Close your eyes and clear you mind. Think about happy moments.
- Put your head forward.
- Take a deep breath slowly through your nose with the count of 10.
- Slowly, let go of your breath. Each breath, convince yourself that you are a very calm person (even though you are not!)
- Repeat the breathing cycles for 5 times.
- Finally, open your eyes slowly.

Is this technique related to meditation breathing exercises such as those taught in some martial arts or Eastern religions? I have always been curious about them.
I will try this exercise tonight.
