Breathing exercises can help you manage moments of anxiety by encouraging slower, more controlled breathing. Sit comfortably, relax your shoulders, and breathe gently without forcing each breath. Allow your exhalation to be slightly longer than your inhalation if that feels comfortable. Practice for a few minutes in a quiet environment and stop if you feel dizzy or uncomfortable. Breathing exercises are useful coping tools, but they may not work for everyone. For persistent anxiety, consider professional guidance and evidence-based treatment options.
