Course overview
Lesson Overview
4.4 – Breathing Exercises for Stress Relief: Breathing is the simplest way to calm the nervous system. Deep, slow breaths signal safety to your body. Techniques like box breathing or diaphragmatic breathing restore focus. Controlled breathing lowers heart rate and releases physical tension. Practicing daily trains the body to relax faster under pressure. Breath awareness anchors the mind to the present moment. In moments of panic, one steady inhale can break anxiety’s grip. Breathing exercises offer instant, portable relief for everyday stress.
