Lesson Overview

13.37 – Using Breathing and Relaxation to Manage Low Mood: Breath is one of the simplest yet most powerful tools for calming depression’s heaviness. Slow, deep breathing signals safety to the nervous system, lowering stress hormones and slowing heart rate. Depression often locks the body into shallow, tense breathing that increases fatigue and anxiety. By learning mindful breathing, you remind your body that rest and renewal are possible. Techniques like box breathing or counting exhales build focus and balance. Relaxation exercises, such as progressive muscle release, help release stored tension. Combining breathing with calming music or meditation enhances the effect. Over time, this practice strengthens the body’s ability to recover from emotional storms faster. Breathing doesn’t erase sadness, but it gives control during moments that feel powerless. Each breath becomes proof that you can bring calm back to yourself. Relaxation teaches that even when thoughts are dark, the body can still find peace. Regular practice makes emotional recovery quicker and more natural.
