Deep breathing can be done anytime, anywhere. Deep breathing provides extra
oxygen to the blood and causes the body to release endorphins, which are
naturally occurring hormones that re-energize and promote relaxation.
Exhale
Breathe out through your mouth, squeezing all the air from your lungs, almost as
if you are wringing the water out of a wet washcloth.
Inhale
Breathe in through your nose without allowing your shoulders to lift, as if your
lungs are deflated balloons that you’re trying to fill.
Do this exercise for three to five minutes whenever you feel tense.
