Anxiety breathing techniques are a wonderful way to calm yourself down and help you overcome your anxiety. Controlling your breathing in such a way that you don't get excited is one of the most effective anxiety management techniques. The process of deep breathing has a calming effect on the body and mind and also allows you to relax. Learning how to breathe properly can change your life, and I will share a simple yet powerful anxiety breathing exercise that anyone can do at home.
The anxiety breathing exercise I'm going to show you is very similar to the breathing exercises used to treat many disorders. It simply uses controlled breaths from the diaphragm rather than the stomach. You want to create a feeling of comfortable and contentment rather than being worried or anxious. Think of this as an exercise that improves your self-esteem.
To start this anxiety breathing exercise, close your eyes and try to focus on your breathing as if you are simply trying to calm down. Breathe deeply through your nose, and feel your diaphragm moves back slowly into your chest cavity. When you inhale, make sure to push all your air out of your lungs. When you exhale push even more air into your lungs. This is a basic technique for nose breathing and can be found in my book, How To Calm Down Your Anxiety Attacks.
Now repeat this exercise with your left nostril. Instead of breathing from your right nostril, breathe from your left nostril. Try to focus on each breath coming in and going out. Focus on the feeling of tension that you have a building in your body, and how it is making you feel anxious. While focusing on the feelings of tension and anxiety in your body, picture a ball of stress rising up in your chest cavity.
You can use your inhalation and exhalation breathing techniques when you are starting to become anxious. This helps you learn to regulate yourself when you feel out of control. You can use this technique before you start becoming anxious to help you relax a little. As you become more comfortable with your breathing, you can then start using it when you are anxious. The more you practice using this breathing technique the more relaxed and calm you will become.

In my next article, we will look at some anxiety breathing techniques that you can use when you feel anxious. You can also use deep belly breathing when you are sitting, walking, or doing any other activity that doesn't require moving around. You will feel a deep sense of comfort and relaxation as your body relaxes from these activities.
As you work on becoming calm and relaxed, remember that it is okay to take a few deep breaths when you feel anxious. Just make sure that you use anxiety breathing techniques when you feel anxious to calm yourself down. You should always start out slow and only deep breathe for a few seconds when you start to feel anxious. This can give you the opportunity to catch your breath before your heart rate gets out of control.
If you find that you have any problems using your deep breathing technique, there are other anxiety management methods that you can use as well. One of those methods is to read, especially if you can find a good book about relaxation and stress relief. Another thing you can do is get a massage to help relax your muscles and ease the tension in your body. These things may seem like they aren't natural remedies, but they are effective methods of relaxation and calming down your body. Try them out for a few weeks and see what works best for you.
