Relax by breathing

You can notice that your breathing and pulse rate quicken while you're feeling nervous. You could begin to sweat and experience dizziness. Taking control of your breathing might help you feel less stressed by calming your body and mind.

When you're feeling worried, do these steps to control your breathing:

• Find a peaceful place to sit and feel at ease. Place one hand on your stomach and the other on your chest. When you breathe in deeply, your stomach should move more than your chest.
• Inhale slowly and steadily through your nose. As you breathe in, keep an eye on and feel your hands. The hand on your stomach should move slightly while the hand on your chest should remain still.
• Exhale slowly through your mouth.
• Repeat this process at least 10 times or until you start to feel your anxiety decreasing.
