One tip for anxiety relief

Anxiety, like nausea brings a sense of dread and helplessness. It will mask itself in mild discomfort that interrupts a flow of thought, a remembrance or reverie or it can strike like psychophysiological lightening that puts us in a disorienting state of emotional chaos and terror. What can be do to reduce our anxieties? The key is learning how to breathe properly.

Here is the tip for you:

Sit in a comfortable chair with your back straight (not tensed) and your feet on the floor. You can also lie down to do this exercise. The diaphragm is located at the center, below the rib cage and above the abdomen. The diaphragm is shaped like a bowl that is upside down Press the fingers of your right or left hand gently against the diaphragm. Inhale through the nose. As you inhale you will feel a slight resistance between your fingers and the diaphragm. The inhalation brings air into your lungs. When you exhale through the nose, the air is released from the lungs. Each individual learns through practice how many counts are optimal on the inhale and exhale cycle. Do what is comfortable for you.
