I’m sure you’ve felt the same way as I have in the past. That feeling when you’re facing a daunting task or something your nervous about. The feeling when the walls feel like your closing in and it get hard to breathe. You get that panicky feeling where you start sweating sand feeling stressed… just breathe.

This was the phrase that I’ve been told in the past when I’ve felt scared, stressed, panicked or frustrated. Feeling like this can actually be quite harmful and effect your body, behavior and feelings. When stress is not dealt with in a timely manner it can cause high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes and heart disease. This can lead to a lifetime of issues and potentially even worse.

In addition to the stress we’re feeling in the moment, we’re also creating more issues for ourselves down the road. So, what can we do to help alleviate this problem? Take slow, mindful and deep breaths through the nose. Exhale for almost twice as long as it took you to take the breath.
